The Edinburgh Audio Guide App by TouringBee is a self-guided audio tour of the Royal Mile, covering the full stretch of Edinburgh's medieval spine from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to Edinburgh Castle. The route runs approximately one and a half hours and is narrated by a seasoned historian across 23 recorded commentaries, covering the architecture, traditions, and layered history of one of Europe's most densely storied streets. The app is available for iPhone and Android and includes an offline map with GPS navigation, so no data connection is required once downloaded.

Along the route, the commentaries cover named landmarks including St Giles' Cathedral, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, and Edinburgh Castle, as well as the medieval closes and wynds that branch off the main thoroughfare, the double-level street structure of the Lawnmarket area, and the grave of Greyfriars Bobby, the terrier whose vigil became part of Edinburgh's civic memory. Illustrations are included to help identify each site. Tickets grant lifetime access to the tour in the language of your choice, and the format allows visitors to pause, backtrack, or linger without following a fixed group schedule. Entry to individual attractions such as Edinburgh Castle is not included and must be booked separately.

Mitä on hyvä tietää

Getting started

Download the TouringBee app on your iPhone or Android device before you set out, and make sure your headphones are charged and ready. The tour works offline, so you do not need a mobile data connection once the content is downloaded. Aim to begin at the Palace of Holyroodhouse end of the Royal Mile so the route flows naturally up to Edinburgh Castle.

During your visit

The audio tour runs to around one hour and thirty minutes of commentary, though your total time out will depend on how often you stop. Because this is self-guided, you can pause at any point, pop into a shop, or sit down for a coffee, then pick up exactly where you left off. Entry to attractions along the route is not included, so budget extra time if you plan to go inside any of the sites.
