What To Expect

We will take you on a tour around our beautiful city taking in the sights from Edinburgh Castle down the famous Royal Mile to Holyrood House and beyond. Edinburgh Castle is stunning! It sits 260ft above the city on volcanic rock, and is visible for tens of miles in every direction.

Along The Royal Mile lies St Giles' Cathedral. For nearly a thousand years St Giles' has been at the centre of Edinburgh's history, and many important moments in history have involved this lovely Cathedral.

At the end of The Royal Mile is the new Scottish Parliament building. Love it or hate it, it is certainly somewhere you will want to see.

Nestled at the bottom of the Royal Mile, The Palace of Holyrood House, today the official Scottish residence of Britain's Royal Family, was built as a guest house for royal visitors. The Palace and the Abbey have survived numerous fires, repairs and restorations.

Driving around our magnificent city you will see an impressive amount of beautiful buildings, monuments, streets and visitor attractions. This is truly a tour not to be missed for anyone visiting this magnificent city.

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
