Free cancellation with conditionsExplore the essentials of Edinburgh on a 2-hour privately guided tour through the New and Old Town!
You'll meet your guide near the National Gallery of Scotland to begin this immersive outdoor tour through the heart of Scotland's capital.
You'll begin by discovering the New Town, built in the 18th century as a symbol of Scotland's Age of Enlightenment. This Georgian neo-classical district, often dubbed the "Athens of the North", is a remarkable example of urban planning. You'll observe its harmonious layout and elegant architecture as you learn how this area has shaped Edinburgh's modern image.
You'll then continue your exploration in the Old Town, a veritable labyrinth of medieval alleyways. Here, the atmosphere is unique, between facades steeped in history and narrow alleys known as "closes". This striking contrast with the New Town perfectly illustrates the city's evolution over the centuries.
Accompanied by your private guide, you'll plunge into the fascinating tales of the "Auld Reekie", an affectionate nickname for the city of yesteryear, marked by the smoke of its chimneys and the mysterious atmosphere of its old quarters.
An ideal visit for a first approach to Edinburgh, between history, urban planning and Scottish culture!
