Experience Days Tours: You may think you're fairly clued up on Edinburgh modern history, but it's not as modern as you think! Explore Edinburgh's New Town on this fun and informative walking tour, visiting famous landmarks with an expert guide at the helm.

Meeting outside the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood, the tour will kick off with an introduction from the guide on all things Dùn Èideann. Tour groups are kept purposely small to allow for a more personal experience, so don't worry about getting left at the back - there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions! Heading through the historic streets, highlights include Calton Hill, the birthplace of Alexander Graham Bell, the West Princes Street Gardens, and much more. You'll hear stories of the prominent figures that created the Edinburgh, and the world, that we know and love today, all with added flair from a highly knowledgeable local guide!

A Walking Tour of New Town Edinburgh makes a unique gift idea for history buffs and Edinburgh tourists, but would be more than suitable for Edinburgh locals too!
