Description

A private walking tour unwraps the festive magic of Edinburgh. Follow your guide through streets glowing with holiday lights, bustling markets, and centuries of history. Begin at Princes Street Gardens, transformed into a winter wonderland of stalls, rides, and sparkling displays. Admire the Gothic Scott Monument shining against the skyline before stepping into St Giles’ Cathedral, where carols echo beneath vaulted ceilings. Wander the Royal Mile, lined with glowing shopfronts and seasonal charm.
