COVID-19 AND YOUR SAFETY
Your safety is our first priority as we come out of lockdown and into a new season of touring. Our walking tour range is fully available, and will be delivered in accordance with Covid-19 safety guidelines; these currently include social distancing, face coverings for guide and guests, and hand sanitiser availability. Our vehicle tours are unfortunately suspended currently; once they can reopen, the vehicle will be disinfected before your tour, face coverings should be worn in the vehicle, and hand sanitiser will be available and used by your driver and guide. As guidance changes, we will be updating our procedures accordingly.
FREE VIRTUAL AUDIO TOURS
We created these audio tracks during our lockdown spell, so that you could still explore Edinburgh’s wonderful Royal Mile by listening to the tracks while guiding yourself using Street View. As Edinburgh opens again, though, they also make fantastic and free walking guides to the historic top section of the Royal Mile, from the Castle gates to Lawnmarket. (Part 1 of the tour is available also in Chinese, French, German, Italian and Spanish)
DEEP ROYAL MILE AUDIO WALK
(St Giles’ to the Tron)
Created in the style of the virtual tours, this is an immersive, deep-dive 95-minute audio guide for independent touring, and ranges from the deep themes of Scotland’s history to the key moments that have echoed through Edinburgh’s story.
PRIVATE WALKING TOURS
If you want to get to the very heart of Edinburgh, consider one of our private guided tours through the Old Town! We’ve gone deep into Edinburgh’s unique history, to find some of the oddest tales and most fascinating themes, all presented with our trademark friendly Edinburgh welcome!
PRIVATE VEHICLE TOURS
(CURRENTLY SUSPENDED PENDING RELAXATION IN COVID RESTRICTIONS, BUT PLEASE BROWSE FOR ANOTHER TIME!)
