Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Vores tur starter i Edinburghs West End, hvor vi vil introducere byen og dens kvarterer. På Charlotte Square vil vi beundre elegante eksempler på neoklassisk arkitektur og forstå, hvorfor Edinburgh er kendt som 'Nordens Athen'
På Charlotte Square vil vi tale om det mest ikoniske palæ i den nye by, det georgiske hus. Vi vil forstå, hvordan layoutet af georgiske rækkehuse så ud, og hvordan det høje samfundsliv var i Edinburgh fra det 18. og 19. århundrede.
Princes Street Gardens er en af Edinburghs vigtigste parker, og vi krydser den fra øst til vest. Vi stopper for at beundre Ross Fountain og andre eksempler på offentlig kunst. Du vil også nyde en fantastisk udsigt over slottet og slotsklippen fra haven.
I Scottish National Gallery vil vi opdage kunstværkerne af nogle af Skotlands mest berømte kunstnere, herunder Sir Henry Raeburn, Alexander Nasmyth og Glasgow Boys.
Vi går mod Royal Mile, hvor vi stopper for at spise frokost. Dette område er kendt for sine pubber og restauranter, og du vil have mulighed for at prøve noget lækker skotsk mad.
Efter frokost går vi langs Royal Mile, hvor vi ser Mercat Cross. Dette blev engang brugt til offentlige meddelelser og offentlige afstraffelser. Vi vil også forklare, hvorfor enhjørningen vises i toppen af denne struktur.
Foran Mercat Cross vil vi se St. Giles Cathedral. Vi taler om arkitekturen i den vigtigste kirke i Skotland og opdager historien om den presbyterianske religion. Vi vil også gå til West Parliament Square for at tale om Act of Union.
På den anden side af St. Giles vil vi se Heart of Midlothian, et vartegn, der markerer stedet, hvor den gamle Tolbooth engang stod.
Når vi forlader St. Giles bag os, vil vi slentre langs Royal Mile. Her vil vi lære, hvad dens middelalderlige brostensbelagte baner, kaldet lukker, var, og hvordan de blev brugt. Der vil også være mulighed for at fortælle om byens kulturelle scene, herunder dens festivaler.
Vi går langs George IV-broen. Det er tid til at møde Edinburghs mest berømte og loyale hund, Bobby! Vi vil også se hundestatuen placeret lige uden for kirkegården.
Bag Bobby finder vi indgangen til Greyfriars Kirkyard. Denne historiske kirkegård vil vi forstå, hvad Mortsafes er, og lære om forbindelsen mellem de skotske pagter og George Mackenzie-mausoleet.
Efter kirkegården finder vi Grassmarket, berømt for sine pubber og sin mørke fortid.
Fra kirkegården går vi til Grassmarket, et område berømt for sine pubber og sin mørke fortid. Fra Grassmarket går vi op ad Victoria Street, den mest maleriske og farverige gade i Edinburgh.
Tilbage på Royal Mile finder vi Makars’ Court. Her vil vi med Writer's Museum som baggrund tale om Skotlands vigtigste forfattere, herunder Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott og Robert Louis Stevenson.
Efter at have forladt Makars' Court, går vi et par minutter langs den øverste del af Royal Mile, indtil vi når Castle Esplanade. Inden vi går ind i slottet, vil vi nyde en fantastisk udsigt over byen og se, hvor Edinburgh Military Tattoo finder sted.
Det er endelig tid til at komme ind i Edinburgh Castle. Når vi først er indenfor, vil vi dykke ned i denne bygnings historie og hemmeligheder og genkalde os de fascinerende historier om konger, dronninger, kampe og belejringer. Efter den guidede tur vil du have mulighed for at udforske slottets indendørs områder i dit eget tempo.

We had a fantastic tour with Ricky! He provided interesting commentary and stories throughout the day as he showed us many of the Edinburgh sights. Be advised it is a full day of walking and standing, so be well rested and ready for a tiring day. Our tour ran about 6 hours, but it was well worth the time as a very comprehensive tour of the city. We had time to find a quick lunch on our own near the National Galleries. At the end of the tour, we had plenty of time to finish exploring the Edinburgh Castle on our own.

The guided tour of Edinburgh was amazing, thanks to our guide Ben. In a group of 10 people from all over the world, he spoke very clearly so that we, the non-native speakers, understood him perfectly. When we lost our group shortly after the start of the tour, he immediately came looking for us so that we could rejoin the group. Ben gave us a lot of information about the history of Scotland and Edinburgh. He encouraged us to ask him everything we were interested in and his answers were comprehensive, interesting, and he often made us laugh. We also saw some places that we would have probably missed in our limited time in Edinburgh. Thank you very much for the pleasant experience and best regards from Slovenia! PS: We managed to conquer Ben Nevis in beautiful sunny weather...
Ben was great tour guide! Enjoyed his explanation!
This was a great tour as our first day in Edinburgh, as a fact-filled orientation to the city and its rich history which was great context for the remainder of our trip. Zenon our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about sites on the tour and Edinburgh history along the way. He also had helpful suggestions for other things to do/see in/near Edinburgh. The small group size was a really nice way to experience a guided tour.
This was a great tour! Very informative. Guide was exceptional! Not recommended for groups coming from Norwegian Cruise line ports - not enough time to finish the tour, we had to miss the castle (entirely the fault of Norwegian, not our guide or Viator).
Zenon was a fantastic guide for our day in Edinburgh. He was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful in making recommendations throughout the tour. We were really impressed with his knowledge of the city and Scotland in general. The tour of Edinburgh Castle was the highlight of the day. Overall, this tour was a great introduction to the city and an excellent overview of its highlights.
Zenon was a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Edinburgh
We had a fantastic full day walking tour yesterday with Zenon! He was very clear and articulate with his explanations of the history and city of Edinburgh. He was patient and answered many questions. He was extremely knowledgeable and gave good recommendations of places to eat and activities. We had a great day and would highly recommend Zenon and this full day tour. Definitely take the tour you won’t regret it!
Ricky Phillips's was my guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable and amusing. He has a remarkable memory and very entertaining. I highly recommend him and his tours.
