Edinburgh: Self-Guided Audio Tour at Edinburgh City Tours

This self-guided audio tour of Edinburgh covers the city's history, art, and royal landmarks over approximately four hours, starting at Castlehill. The route takes in Edinburgh Castle, one of Scotland's most visited historic sites, sitting on volcanic rock above the Old Town, and continues to Arthur's Seat, the ancient hill that rises above Holyrood Park and offers wide views across the city. The audio guide is delivered through a downloadable app, meaning visitors move at their own pace without a fixed group schedule. Edinburgh has no shortage of things to do in Edinburgh, and this tour provides a structured way to cover the main landmarks independently.

The tour focuses on the exterior of Edinburgh Castle, with the option to purchase a separate entry ticket at your own cost if you want to explore the interior, which houses the Scottish Crown Jewels and the Stone of Destiny. Arthur's Seat, a remnant of a long-extinct volcano, adds an outdoor element to the itinerary. Sample itineraries are included to help visitors plan whether they have a single day or more time in the city. Tickets cover the downloadable audio guide app and the self-guided route. A headset, mobile device, guided tour, and attraction entry are not included. Cancellation is accepted before the tour date, and the experience is not suitable for wheelchair users.
