Your guide will weave history and mystery together as you’re chauffeured seamlessly from one awe-inspiring sight to the next - a luxurious journey through the heart and soul of Scotland’s spellbinding capital.

Lose yourself in the colourful twists of Victoria Street - the real Diagon Alley - then tiptoe through Greyfriars Kirk, the world’s most haunted graveyard, where ghosts, legends, and one famously loyal pup still linger. This is Edinburgh in all its darkly glittering glory: dramatic, enchanting, and just a little bit spooky.
