Tour program:

Edinburgh is fondly known as “Auld Reekie,” which means “Old Smokey” in Scots. This is because of all the smoke and chimneys the city had in the past, creating smog over the city. The weather in Edinburgh is normally rainy and windy, but far from being an inconvenience, the bitter weather gives the town an extra charm, creating a mysterious and somber atmosphere.

The capital has a unique radiance when the rays of sun stream through the clouds, and when the night falls, the ghosts that refuse to leave Edinburgh come out to haunt the streets and buildings while guides accompany curious tourists to see crypts, alleyways, and graveyards to discover the mysteries that besiege the heart of the city. As well as countless ghost stories, Edinburgh also offers its visitors and locals a wide variety of attractions, including museums, most of which are free. Tourists can also visit a whisky distillery and learn how Scotland’s national drink is made in the Scotch Whisky Experience, discover how the Scottish people lived during the Middle Ages in the People’s Story Museum, or explore the evolution of medicine in the Surgeon’s Hall Museums. The country’s hearty dishes combined with the traditional Scottish breakfast will probably mean you’ll go home a few pounds heavier but happy and full of extremely fond memories of the city. With our guide, you’ll discover why Edinburgh is the second most visited city in the UK after London. Every year, over two million tourists visit Scotland’s capital city.
