What To Expect
Royal Mile
The Royal Mile is the historic heart of Edinburgh, Scotland, running from the Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse. It's about a mile long (hence the name) and is lined with shops, restaurants, pubs, and historic landmarks like St. Giles' Cathedral. It's a bustling area full of history, culture, and tourist attractions.
New Town
New Town Edinburgh is the elegant Georgian part of the city, contrasting with the medieval streets of the Old Town. It was built in the 18th century as a solution to the overcrowding in the Old Town. New Town is known for its wide streets, neoclassical architecture, and spacious squares, such as Charlotte Square and St. Andrew Square. It's a hub for shopping, dining, and cultural activities, with attractions like the Scottish National Gallery and the Princes Street Gardens. New Town offers a different vibe from the Old Town but is equally charming and worth exploring.

4.00This is my second time in Edinburgh, and Mr Saf was our guide for 2 years in a row, and it i had specifically asked him as he made our journey so fun, easy going and educational at its best. My son and I just had the pleasure to spend an entire day at St Andrews and Holy Island experience was incredibly peaceful and fulfilling. we will definitely make a return for more untouched beauty of Edinburgh and only with Mr Saf. thanks so much for such an unforgettable experience!!
