LOCKDOWN SPECIAL – FREE AUDIO TOUR FOR USE WITH GOOGLE STREET VIEW!
While you can’t come to Edinburgh, let 7 Hills Tours and Google Street View bring Edinburgh to you! We’re making a part-by-part audiovisual tour of Edinburgh’s iconic Royal Mile, telling you stories and details all the way from the Castle to the Palace! Each section will be approximately a half hour, but you can pause and browse on the topics and people we meet at any time. Just tee up Google Street View at the start point for each part, start the audio, and you’re off into Old Edinburgh! Why not try each part as it comes out?
