Your Experience

Wandering around Edinburgh’s Old Town can easily make you feel as if you have stepped back in time. History was made here, after all – at the very wynds, closes, courtyards and homes of Scotland’s capital city. With an expert guide by your side, uncover another side of Edinburgh’s colorful history that includes characters like Mary, Queen of Scots, grave robbers Burke and Hare and even Greyfriars Bobby, the loyal Skye Terrier who sat by his master’s grave for 14 years until his own death in 1872.

Upgrade your experience by adding a skip-the-line entry into Edinburgh Castle to your ticket. Dark and imposing, the Edinburgh Castle is home to the oldest crown jewels in Britain, worn by Mary, Queen of Scots for her coronation. It is also known for its Stone of Destiny that was used to anoint Scottish kings, and Mons Meg, a 15th-century cannon.
