Overview

Step into a world of medieval history, gothic mystery, and magical inspiration! Our adventure begins on the world-famous Royal Mile, the perfect spine from which to peel back the layers of Edinburgh’s complex past. From the Enlightenment's philosophers to the dark alleyways that inspired Harry Potter, this tour covers it all.

Your Scottish Adventure Highlights:

• Historic Landmarks: Pass the City Chambers and the Mercat Cross—the heart of royal proclamations. Admire the majestic St Giles' Cathedral and touch the "Heart of Midlothian" to connect with local traditions.

• Literary & Philosophical Giants: Greet the statue of David Hume and explore the square of the Writers' Museum, celebrating Scotland’s unrivaled literary heritage.

• The Most Beautiful Streets: Overlook the vibrant, winding curves of Victoria Street (the inspiration for Diagon Alley) before reliving the legendary tales of the Grassmarket.

• Ghosts & Loyal Friends: Enter Greyfriars Kirkyard to hear about historic paranormal secrets and the moving story of Bobby, the city's most loyal dog.

• The Grand Finale: Witness the iconic Castle views from The Vennel, widely considered the most photogenic spot in the city.
