Best Edinburgh City Centre Walking Tour - City Hike

Edinburgh City Centre

The Ultimate Edinburgh City Hike (Including Old and New Town)

In this stunning City Hike, you will see the famous spots of Edinburgh’s iconic city centre - and then some! You will discover more of Edinburgh compared to ordinary walking tours. This truly is the ultimate tour.

Our goal is always offering you the #1 walking tours in Edinburgh.

This is no ordinary tour. With this expedition you will see way more of the awe-inspiring City Centre than what is usually offered in Edinburgh. This is possible because we limit our group sizes for a relaxed feel and focus on walking rather than standing around. We go the extra mile; quite literally.

From the picturesque Meadows to the historic Old Town and Royal Mile, from the elegant New Town all the way to the enchanting Waters of Leith, Dean Village and even Calton Hill, this truly is the ultimate Edinburgh walking tour. Along the way, enjoy fascinating insights that make our signature experience truly memorable. From Harry Potter connections to Edinburgh's history, from inventions to local plant species, there is plenty to be unveiled.

If you want to make the most of your time in Edinburgh and not miss the most beautiful views of this iconic city centre, this walking tour is for you.
