Common questions about tours in Edinburgh
Where do the tours start?
Most of our tours begin at the Mercat Cross on the Royal Mile, but please check your booking confirmation for the exact meeting point.
Are the tours suitable for children?
Yes, our historical tours are family-friendly. However, our Dark Secrets tour is recommended for ages 12 and up due to the spooky nature of the stories.
What happens if it rains?
Our tours run rain or shine! Edinburgh's weather can be unpredictable, so we recommend dressing in layers and bringing a waterproof jacket or umbrella.
Is the route wheelchair accessible?
Edinburgh's Old Town has steep hills and cobblestones, which can be challenging. Please contact us in advance, and we can advise on the most accessible routes or arrange a tailored private tour.
