Experience Days Tours: This three-hour guided walking tour of Edinburgh will fascinate discerning sightseers. Led by descendants of one of the city’s most influential families, it’s a chance to explore the unique history, culture and architecture of the Royal Mile and Old Town.
Tours begin outside Usher Hall on Lothian Road, a building of special significance to your guides Stuart and Richard. It was their ancestor Andrew Usher, a successful 19th century whisky distiller, whose donation of £100,000 funded the new concert hall’s construction! After a brief introduction, they’ll lead you on a three-hour stroll through Edinburgh’s historic Old Town, pausing at various landmarks along the way. These will include the city’s oldest surviving building, Queen Margaret’s Chapel; Edinburgh Castle, St. Giles’ Cathedral, Princes Street Gardens, the National Galleries of Scotland, and many more. Together, these will tell the story of a city built on centuries of struggle and shaped by remarkable characters. Follow in the footsteps of leaders, writers, philosophers, bodysnatchers, witches and a faithful Skye terrier—and leave feeling enlightened when the tour concludes!
The History, Culture & Architecture Tour of Edinburgh promises a fascinating few hours for curious visitors, and Experience Days vouchers make thoughtful gifts for history buffs. If you’re planning a trip to Auld Reekie, why not treat your travelling companion today!
