What To Expect

Edinburgh Castle

Meet your private expert guide and visit Edinburgh Castle in an interactive way, which was used for a long time for military purposes, it is today the number 1 tourist site of the city over which it offers a superb panorama. Edinburgh Castle is a sumptuous fortress located in the heart of the old town or Old Town and symbol of Scottish power. Witness to the painful history that played out between Scotland and England, the castle was from the 11th century the symbol of the rivalries between these two nations. It then housed some famous members of the Scottish Stuart dynasty, including Mary Stuart who gave birth there to the future James I of England. During the visit, you learn many details about Scottish history and observe the impacts left by the sieges, battles, and attempted reconquests that damaged the castle. The guided tour lasts approximately 1.5 hours (after which you can continue to explore Edinburgh Castle at your own pace and in more detail if you wish).
