Robert knows The Royal Mile, plus!
Robert was an excellent tour guide, hitting all the high points of the Royal Mile plus many more stories and anecdotes. He’s a native Edinburgher, and has a vast store of knowledge of the city. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour.

Great guide
Veni our guide was most interesting and knowledgeable and entertained us from the beginning with facts, small and large, about the city, the Royal Mile, and the castle. We got a really good feel for the city and its people. We were very impressed and thank Veni for conducting the tour

City tour and castle with Charles
Charles was an amazing tour guide. So knowledgeable and really informative. We loved it so much, great to have headsets so you could hear clearly on the busy streets xx

Castle walking tour
We enjoyed our walking tour with Marina!! The headsets made it so easy to walk, listen and take in the city and castle. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Edinburgh!

There is a great deal of walking. History of the Royal mile and the castle came alive through the tour guide. Veni did a great job, methodical, patient and answered all questions without hesitation. Thanks for a great tour!

First Time in Edinburgh
It was a great tour! We learned a great deal of Scottish history, including details of the founding of the city. The closes off the Royal Mile hold secrets and treasures that are worth a peak. Walking where kings and queens once did always excites my soul! Be prepared for rain as you will get wet and make sure your shoes are comfortable and rainproof. Callum with Mercat Tours was very knowledgeable and excellent tour guide!

Our guide A gave great history and local tales…we would recommend. Ear phones were a big help. Tour started promptly and was easy to find.

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.

Andrea is an exceptional guide. Great tour, a must-see when in Edinburgh.

Wearing headsets mean that even if you lose sight of the tour leader, you can still hear. Eventually all group members catch up physically, so slower members don't miss out on information.

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.
