What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel or accommodation and travel by comfortable private taxi through Edinburgh's compact historic centre. Your guide will navigate you past royal palaces, through medieval wynds, and across the New Town's Georgian crescents—all from the relaxed vantage point of your cab, with stops at places you want to linger. The guide talks you through what you're seeing without overwhelming detail; you set the rhythm. You're free to ask questions, request detours, or spend longer at a particular spot. The four-hour window suits a thorough taster rather than exhaustive coverage.
