Veni was the perfect mix of knowledge-sharing, human interest and humor. She was one of the best historical guides we have had. While the castle is amazing, the Royal Mile portion was our favorite.

I Highly recommend this tour!
We loved this tour of the “secrets” of the royal mile & Edinburgh castle. The pace was good, and our guide, Marina, was fantastic. Marina was so entertaining with her storytelling and kept our interest the entire time. I highly recommend this tour.

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.

Castle and Royal mile tour
This tour was very good. Our guide was funny and knowledgeable and we had a fun time with her. She stayed with us for about 2 and 1/2 hours and didn’t seem to be concerned about finishing in the 2 hours.

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.

Marina was a great storyteller, very entertaining and lots of history that you would not realize just walking around the Royal Mile or Castle by yourself

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.

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.
