Edinburgh at your Leisure Private Shore Excursion

Description


Go Scotland tours offers pick up from the cruise ship ports of Queensferry, Rosyth and Edinburgh.

On this short tour of Edinburgh's New and Old Towns we give you options for a brief overview of the city.See the classical architecture of the New Town and the historical buildings of the Royal Mile. We give you the choice of either a detailed panoramic city tour or a personal guided tour of Edinburgh Castle.

You will then have a couple of hours to explore the Royal Mile by foot. The main goal is to take in many of the shops the line the streets. Whether it is fine cashmere, tartan wool, tweed or tacky souvenirs you will find a variety in the Old Town of Edinburgh.

For those who don't want to go shopping the guide can take you on a walking tour to the best parts of the city. This ideal if half the group has something else in mind.


This is a tailor-made tour that can be tailor-made to your needs. In total you will have 6 hours to discover Edinburgh at your leisure.
