Edinburgh's Hidden Treasures Black Taxi Tour

Following a pickup at your Edinburgh hotel, meet your private guide and take a seat in your traditional black cab. Then, spin onward through the UNESCO World Heritage– listed city to begin your 4-hour tour. Hear hair-raising tales of thieves, robbers, and murderers such as criminal duo Burke and Hare and ‘Half Hangit’ Maggie Dickson. Along the way, learn the origins of the Royal Mile and discover key sites of interest including the National War Memorial. 

Admire fine views over Edinburgh Castle as your private guide sheds light on its colorful history. Visit ancient sites such as the Grassmarket — where public executions used to happen — and hear chilling stories of grave-robbers, murderers and famous Edinburgh characters such as Burke and Hare, ‘Half Hangit’ Maggie Dickson, and Greyfriars Bobby.

Find out how the Royal Mile got its name and take in top city attractions including the National War Memorial.

Besides the above your guide will show you buildings, avenues, alley ways that very few tourists ever get to see and you will hear stories and anecdotes about this wonderful city that will make your hair curl. Finally, we return in comfort to your hotel to conclude your tour.
