281 tours in Edinburgh, from €4 to €1873 per person, average rating 4.8 based on 195407 reviews.
Edinburgh tours on this page were picked by hand: we read every listing and kept 281 tours rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices stretch from €4 per person for an Old Town walk to €1873 per group for private trips to Skye and the Highlands. Edinburgh guided tours through the Old Town tell its history as you walk, with castle entry bundled into some routes.
A quick way to choose: day trips from Edinburgh to Loch Ness need a full day, so leave room in your plans; a Highland tour with an optional steam train journey needs a closer look before you count on riding the train. For private outings, check whether the price covers your group or each traveller, as both pricing formats appear here. The best reviewed tours in Edinburgh come first below.
