Itinerary:

Explore the heart of Edinburgh’s historic Old Town with a licensed local guide who will bring the city’s fascinating history, stories, and characters to life.

Continue through Edinburgh City Chambers and its historic courtyard before visiting the Heart of Midlothian, marking the site of the city’s former prison. Along the way, admire the 17th-century townhouses of Makars Court and wander down the colorful Victoria Street, often cited as an inspiration for J.K. Rowling’s Diagon Alley.
