Private Tour of Edinburgh Hidden Old Town

Description

Enjoy fascinating insights from an experienced tour guide and local historian - me!. There will be a fun quiz for children at the end of your tour. If they do well, they receive a special prize!

You will hear and see amazing things. A castle on top of an extinct volcano. What we did to witches. We will also explore Many of our well-hidden closes and wynds. You will see a house once occupied by the wealthiest man in Edinburgh.
