Départ conseillé

We design our tours in the form of a loop so you can easily start at the point closest to you, with the guidance adapting automatically. If you are nearby, we recommend an ideal starting point: Grassmarket Square.

Parking à proximité

Covered Parking Semple Street, 30 Semple Street Driving in Edinburgh is generally not recommended. However, if you do need to park, it is wiser to choose an underground car park rather than street parking. While often more expensive, on-street spaces are heavily regulated and also paid. You must be very careful and check in advance where you are allowed to park and for how long, otherwise you risk getting a fine. If you are looking for free parking, consider the park-and-ride facilities on the outskirts of the city, which are often connected to the city centre by shuttle services.
