Our 2025 programme of free tours will run from 3rd to 24th August inclusive.

Tours leave from in front of the City Chambers in the Royal Mile at 10:30 and 14:00 (see our Contact Us page for directions). There are no formalities. Just turn up for either our morning or afternoon tours. The tour takes approximately one and half hours. Although it is not essential, if you prefer to book in advance then follow this link which will lead you to our listing in the Edinburgh Fringe website. (This will open in a new window) Please note that the Fringe Society charges a small fee for bookings made in this way.

In the meantime if you wish to take a tour with us, you can book a private tour for your family or group at any time of the year.
