Castillo de Edimburgo: visita guiada a pie con entrada
Descripción
La segunda atracción turística más popular de Escocia mientras aprende sobre la sangrienta historia, incluidas las historias de los reyes y reinas que vivieron en este castillo. Hay evidencia de un fuerte aquí durante casi 3000 años, y ha sido un castillo real desde al menos el reinado del rey David I en el siglo XII. Los monarcas escoceses continuaron utilizándolo hasta 1633, e incluso vieron nacer al rey Jaime VI entre sus muros. Su recorrido comenzará en la Royal Mile y luego lo llevará al castillo, donde escuchará a su guía hablar sobre los orígenes del castillo y sus asedios. Una vez dentro de las murallas del castillo, el guía te llevará por las diferentes partes de la fortaleza y te contará su fascinante historia. Dentro del complejo encontrará tres museos, dos prisiones, un cementerio canino, la Capilla de Santa Margarita, el Monumento Nacional a los Caídos de Escocia, el Gran Salón y un Palacio Real. (TODO EL TOUR PERMANECERÁ AL AIRE LIBRE; los edificios están no accesible durante el recorrido.)

This is an amazing castle and full of history. The Audio guides are really key to providing historical facts. There is so much history to learn and is a must see when in Edinburgh.
Melanie Boyd was a fabulous guide - not only incredibly knowledgable, witty, and brilliantly entertaining but she was also very considerate in terms of her groups walking abilities. Big shout out to Mel for a thoroughly enjoyable castle tour.
Melanie was fabulous! She’s an extremely knowledgeable historian and remarkably entertaining storyteller! The BEST!
Our tour guide Gavin was very nice and knowledgeable. He gave us a lot of historical background with some humor sprinkled in at each stop in the tour.
We booked our tour with TripAdvisor based on seeing the positive reviews. We didn’t know about the Fringe festival when booking this, so did learn about this after booking. With the crowds in the streets, it was tough to keep up with the guide as a family with younger children, ages 7 & 9. There is a lot of walking and as it was fine for my husband and I, our kids got tired quickly.
Couldn’t find a ticket by myself because I booked too late. The tour was amazing. Gavin was our guide and it was great!
Melanie was the tour guide.... she told us amazing stories with so much enthusiasm. Truly enjoyed it. Highly recommended!!
Our tour guide, Raj, was brilliant. His understanding of the background of not only the castle, but Edinburgh and Scotland was clearly shown in the way he told it to us with stories and humour. He also paid great attention to my 90yr old, hard of hearing, father by speaking clearly and ensuring he was close by at all times. Highly recommended!
I cant remember our guides name but I really appreciated the fact that he said the names, locations, and/or dates when he started talking and then again after he was finished. He was Scottish and had a Scottish accent but was clear and easy to understand! We originally were not going to go on a tour of the castle but they were sold out (Aug/Fringe festival) of tickets so we checked Viator and they had tickets + tour and truth be told I am glad we took the tour. Seeing the buildings are great but without some of the historical information behind it I think you do yourself a bit of disservice, unless you have done the research yourself. The tour is done outside of the individual building(s) but within the castle walls so once the tour is over you can go explore with additional information. We did the 10 am tour which was perfect because it allowed up to be done with the tour, have lunch and be outside ready for the 1 pm cannon. It was very very very crowded (Aug/fringe) but IMO well worth it!
Nice tour, super disappointed that the barracks were not open. A bit pricey for what you see, but cool. Got all the way to the entrance before we found out we had to meet our tour group clear down at the bottom of the hill.
