Royal Mile Guided Walking Tour in Edinburgh
Edinburgh, United Kingdom
3 hours
What You Will Do
This guided walk with our unique guides, Stuart Usher or his son, Richard Usher, will entertain and enthral you. Also we are delighted to introduce two new guides; Dr Alison Duncan and David Forsyth, who are both professional historians and Edinburgh experts.
We limit the tour to 12 guests so everyone is involved (unlike those many tours of 30, 40 or even more!)
Stuart's family has historic connections with Edinburgh (Stuart's great-great Uncle, Andrew Usher, donated the magnificent Usher Hall to the city . Andrew was also known as the 'father of the scotch whisky blending industry').
Their deep knowledge of the cultural, historical and architectural aspects of the city means they have a unique perspective on our wonderful capital.
Your guides will show you the cultural treasures of Edinburgh, the secrets of its past and its famous characters, and are rightly renowned for their entertaining and witty commentary.
