Description

Step into the heart of Scotland’s history with a guided walking tour of Edinburgh Castle, perched high on Castle Rock overlooking the city. Your experience begins as you meet your knowledgeable guide and stroll up to the castle, learning about its dramatic origins and the many sieges that shaped its story.

As you explore the castle grounds, your guide will share tales of Mary Queen of Scots and the powerful monarchs who once called this fortress home. Pause at the iconic Great Hall, where lavish feasts and royal celebrations once filled the air with excitement and intrigue.

During the tour, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of Edinburgh’s skyline and see the famous esplanade, home to the Royal Military Tattoo. The tour remains outdoors, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere and marvel at the castle’s formidable defenses and historic architecture.

Once the guided portion concludes, use your included entry ticket to venture inside the castle buildings at your own pace. Discover fascinating museums, the Royal Palace, ancient prisons, and the serene Chapel of Saint Margaret, all steeped in centuries of Scottish history.

Tours last around 1.5 hours and are available in several languages, making this an accessible and enriching experience for all visitors. Secure your spot today and unlock the secrets of Edinburgh Castle—book now to guarantee your place!
