Venture to the summit of Castle Rock and visit Edinburgh Castle, the historic fortress that dominates the city's horizon. On this guided tour, you can enjoy skip-the-line entrance, learn about the castle's crucial role in Scottish history, and enjoy free time to explore at your own pace.
After meeting your guide and fellow travelers, you stroll along the Upper End of the Royal Mile and head up to Edinburgh Castle, a legendary landmark that has played a significant role in Scotland's history.
Perched on an extinct volcano and overlooking the Old Town, the citadel was the site of battles, royal residences, and army headquarters. Now it is a tranquil place that showcases Edinburgh's heritage—and boats some of the most amazing views of the city.
Follow your guide through the castle's grounds and gain an in-depth insight into the city's striking past and rich history. Visit captivating attractions including the Great Hall, the Crown Jewels, the Stone of Scone, Mons Meg, and the haunting Prison of Wars.
Listen as your guide narrates intriguing stories to learn about the love affairs of former kings and queens, accounts of fierce Iron Age warriors, the agendas of Scottish soldiers and prisoners in the 1600s.
