This Edinburgh walking tour covers the most famous street in the city. Even though you will start at the Grassmarket you will go down the Royal Mile for an exploration of the history of this street and where it gets its famous name, but also of all modern day organisations that call it home today.
This tour can be conducted by several of our guides at Invisible (Edinburgh) so a specific person is not guaranteed.
The tour may run an extra five or ten minutes due to crowds or traffic.
Invisible Cities is a Social Enterprise. This means we are a social business with a social conscience. We don't believe in labels or stereotypes and we want to show that everyone has great potential, a fact reflected in our tour guides.
Tour revenue will be invested in providing support for our tour guides, who have all been affected by homelessness.
We train people affected by homelessness to become walking tour guides of their own city and offer these alternative tours to tourists and locals.
Please call for any questions.
Meet in front of Maggie Dickson's Pub on the Grassmarket
We are looking forward to having you on the tour.
