The best way to see the main sights in stunning Edinburgh. Join this audio-guided city tour and get the local's perspective of Edinburgh. Hop aboard the Edinburgh bus tour at Waterloo Place in central Edinburgh. From here, you travel along Princes Street and past Scott's Monument, the bus then heads to the Grassmarket, with its array of small boutique shops, traditional Scottish pubs, and restaurants. We'll point out the 'birthplace' of Harry Potter, The Elephant House Cafe on George IV Bridge, where JK Rowling is said to have written some of the books. We then work our way up to Edinburgh's famous Royal Mile with a short introduction to the Old Town. Next, we head off the beaten track across the Dean Bridge and into Edinburgh's quaint Dean Village. This residential zone was once a separate village and is packed full of charming cobbled lanes. Back towards the city centre, we pass the impressive St Mary's Cathedral, one of three cathedrals in Edinburgh. From here, we head down towards the foot of Arthur's Seat, past the Burns monument to Holyrood Park where the regal Holyrood Palace is located. Our last leg of the journey takes us up through the Canongate, past the John Knox House and Scottish Storytelling Centre before heading back to Waterloo Place for the end of the tour.
