Heritage Guide Guided Tour Offer

Heritage Guides are a group of accredited and award-winning historians and tour guides who specialise in exploring the sites and stories of Scotland’s built heritage. As guides, they provide storytelling, tours and talks for all ages and abilities in Edinburgh and beyond.

The guided walk involves travelling into Old Town and meeting characters of the city, from the iconic sights of the Royal Mile to the Kirk of Greyfriars.

Take a journey through time, feel the cobblestones beneath your feet as you explore the lives of Edinburgh residents from generations past – from historical figures like Mary Queen of Scots and Robert Burns, to the everyday folk who for their entire lives never left the city’s walls. With every step along the Royal Mile, echoes of the past surround you — stories of royalty, rebellion, crime and culture brought vividly to life by our masterful Storytellers, and historic landmarks that still stand today.

This walk runs everyday between 11am till 1pm.
