Additional Information

Edinburgh has developed into one of Europe’s most stunning cities. We will explore the history of this ancient city, with a past spanning more than 3000 years, from its first inhabitants, the Picts, to its kilt-wearing denizens. We will discuss its significant structures like the St. Giles Cathedral and Edinburgh Castle. We will stroll down its iconic streets, such as the Royal Mile and Victoria Street.

We will stop by the statue of the dog Bobby, located near the Greyfriars cemetery, a place steeped in mysteries, legends and occasional reports of supernatural occurrences. Portions of the Harry Potter series were penned in Edinburgh and the author, JK Rowling, drew inspiration from various sources in the city. Join us as we uncover those places and the sparks they provided for the series.

The Scottish capital, deep-rooted in history and filled with folklore, is indispensable on any tour. Don’t miss out on this extraordinary journey through Edinburgh.
