Royal Mile Tour - Royal Treatment
Grant was an excellent guide. Ensured everyone had a great time. The headsets made the experience all the better. Can’t recommend this tour highly enough. Platinum experience all around.

Great tour if you don’t...
Great tour if you don’t want to just wander around Old Town without any idea what you’re looking at. Grant was very informative and a great guide. Also helps that his accent was not super thick and hard to understand. Having pre-purchased castle tickets was especially great since they can be sold out 5-7 days in advance. Definitely recommend this tour.

Highly Recommend
Grant was an excellent guide. Very informative, historical perspective. The audio equipment provided was extremely helpful given the amount of people on the Royal Mile and at the Castle. Highly recommend this tour.

There is a lot of walking...
There is a lot of walking on cobble streets and up/down hills, so wear comfortable shoes! Our tour guide Veni was very knowledgeable and she really knows her history. 100% would recommend!

Well worth the time!
Calum provided an excellent tour. History is not always exciting, but Calum did a great job at making it engaging and informative. The castle is packed with tourists, so 10/10 recommend gaining access with a tour to avoid lines.

Great tour and guide
Fantastic tour and guide. Once Robert heard I had already seen most of the royal mile, he redesigned the itinerary on the spot. I learned and saw so much. Robert went above and beyond, making sure to show me key sites. He is very knowledgeable and engaging. Highly recommend.

Well worth the money
Our tour started on time and our tour guide was very knowledgeable regarding the Royal Mile. The headphones are helpful so you can hear the guide. Getting inside the castle was easy and the tour ends inside the castle.

Wonderful "Secret Edinburgh" Tour
Our guide, Moray, was just wonderful. He was so friendly and fun and full of wonderful stories about the many unseen closes in Edinburgh along the Royal Mile. We learned so much history about the City of Edinburgh, and many of its famous citizens. It was very different from the usual city tour and my husband and I enjoyed our time with Moray so much. We would recommend this tour to everyone.

On my schedule
Quick review of some of the history of the Royal mile. Given that its more of a shopping district its easy to miss the smaller sites of interest. If you dont want to drone on with a tour group for a very crowded location than this is nice.

Very Enjoyable
Linda was a fantastic guide. Lots of extra stories kept us engaged as well as her lovely personality. She included participants as characters and was so knowledgeable. Enjoyed immensely. Will definitely come back for another tour with Mercat.

How to get there
When to visit

Wear sturdy walking shoes as some surfaces are uneven and sloping.
To avoid an uphill slog, start at Edinburgh Castle and walk downhill to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, then use public transport or a taxi to get back up.
The cobblestoned sections of the street can cause difficulty for some wheelchairs, strollers, and mobility devices.
