Castelo de Edimburgo: passeio guiado a pé com ingresso
Descrição
A segunda atração turística mais popular da Escócia enquanto você aprende sobre a história sangrenta, incluindo histórias dos reis e rainhas que viveram neste castelo. Há evidências de um forte aqui há quase 3.000 anos, e tem sido um castelo real desde pelo menos o reinado do Rei David I no século XII. Os monarcas escoceses continuaram a usá-lo até 1633, e até viram o nascimento do rei Jaime VI dentro dos seus muros. Seu passeio começará na Royal Mile e depois o levará ao castelo, onde você ouvirá seu guia falando sobre as origens do castelo e seus cercos. Uma vez dentro das muralhas do castelo, o guia irá levá-lo através das diferentes partes da fortaleza e contar-lhe a sua fascinante história. Dentro do complexo, você encontrará três museus, duas prisões, um cemitério canino, a Capela de Santa Margarida, o Monumento Nacional aos Caídos da Escócia, o Grande Salão e um Palácio Real. não acessível durante o passeio.)

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.
