\nWe run private Edinburgh tours (this is our main keyword), around the Old Town and offer a number of different ‘themes’;
\nAn Old Edinburgh tour – looking at some of the famous people, places and events within the Old Town.
\nA Greyfriars Kirkyard tour – where we visit one of the most historic burial grounds on the planet
\nA Royal Mile tour – we walk up the famous Royal Mile. Since Edinburgh has been the capital city of Scotland since the mid-1400s, this street has seen it all. One historian once said that she believed around 2\/3 of Scotland’s important events happened on this single thoroughfare!
\nA Victorian Slums tour – By the 19th century, Edinburgh’s rich had moved into the plush New Town. The Old Town became an overcrowded slum area, where life was cheap and harsh. We reveal a very different side to Edinburgh’s history.
\nA Bonnie Prince Charlie in Edinburgh tour – come with us as we look at the people, Edinburgh events and the places which played a part in the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745.<\/p>\n
We also offer a series of specially designed activity tours for primary school groups.
\nWe run virtual tour versions of our Old Edinburgh tour, our Victorian Slums tour and our Bonnie Prince Charlie tour.<\/p>\n
