Edinburgh Castle Tour

13 tours · €46–€114 per person · ★ 4.8

Every Edinburgh Castle tour here was picked by hand: we read every listing and kept 13 tours rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €46 per person for a guided castle walk with entry to €114 for a city walk combining the castle, Royal Mile and Holyrood Palace. A typical tour of Edinburgh Castle bundles admission with a guide who explains what you see as you walk through the grounds.

A quick way to choose: an Edinburgh Castle guided tour can stay outdoors even in rain, leaving the buildings for you to explore independently afterwards. Check the meeting point, as some walks start on the Royal Mile rather than at the castle. On the walk combining the castle, Royal Mile and Holyrood, the palace visit uses an audioguide.
