Excellent day of the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle!
Best tour of the week. Our guide thru Mercat was exceptional. Lots of history. Great walking tour experience. The Royal Mile with Edinburgh Castle was our way into a sold out castle day.

This one is it!
Almost didn't book this... glad we did because the tour was absolutely awesome with the the history and dedicated staff sharing more intimate facts we would have never known. Worth it!

Fun 2 Hours at Edinburgh Castle & Royal Mile
We met Linda with Mercat tours in the heart of the Royal Mile on a cold and rainy day. She got us started with a ton of information about Edinburgh history, from people to the buildings and the small things you wouldn’t probably notice just walking by them. She was very knowledgeable, funny, and personable.

Excellent walking tour
Thoroughly enjoyable walking tour of the Royal Mile area & the palace. Linda our guide was excellent, very welcoming, funny & absolutely knew her history. A tour well worth taking.

Loved Every Second of This Tour of the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle
Just enough history laced with architecture and whimsy thrown on top. Our wee family was delighted to hear stories and envision the past with our amazing 10/10 majestic-unicorns tour guide, Mally. If you’re lucky enough to coorie into an Edinburgh close for Mally’s enthusiastic history tales, you’ve done yourselves a real favor.

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.

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.

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.

Nice walking tour of The Royal Mile with Craig, our very knowledgeable and very funny guide. He took us down alleys and into hidden courtyards we would not have seen otherwise. Worth the afternoon and cost.

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.
