Description

Discover Edinburgh’s historical, cultural, and architectural heritage on a small and intimate walking tour guided by one of the most knowledgeable locals possible. Stuart or Richard Usher, of Scotland's famous and historic House of Usher, or professional historians Dr Alison Duncan and David Forsyth, will guide you through this beautiful city. You’ll see many of the city’s highlights, including Usher Hall and Edinburgh Castle (exterior). You’ll walk along the Royal Mile, view St. Giles Cathedral (exterior), and visit several of Edinburgh's famous landmarks. Your guide has an extensive knowledge of Edinburgh's history and architecture and the many famous people that the city has produced over the centuries. They will share their knowledge with you in an informative, personable, and enjoyable manner. Have no fear, as it won't all be serious stuff. You will visit the Grassmarket, a place of thriving activity where street performers and buskers abound and home, since the 1400s, to merchants and street traders. Discover John Knox's House & Scottish Storytelling Centre Also, you will see Princes Street, Princes Street Gardens, the Scott Monument, George Street and St Andrews Square. As an added perk, customize the tour to your liking and you can be met at your city-centre hotel and finish the tour at a destination of your choice.
