Edinburgh Architectural Tours
 
We are specifically interested in an architectural tour of Edinburgh. We found one on-line which is pricey 65 Euros each for three hours. Has anyone had any experience with this and can offer a recommnedation?

Thank you in advance

When are you going? The Scottish Civic Trust organises an open doors weekend, 22nd and 23rd September this year.

I haven't been on a guided tour in Edinburgh but £65 doesn't sound too bad if you are actually driven around with a real guide.

Thank you Tarquin.

We will in Edinburgh in the middle of May.

I'm curious at a company that charges in Euro in the UK. Which is it as the only company that I know only does pre-booked groups - and most definitely charges in Pound Sterling?

I know this is not really what you are looking for but may be of interest to you.

self guided tours of the University, some stunning buildings and courtyards and most are in or an easy walk from the city center, some of the building do have limited public access .

Thank you Unclegus.

You are right Row, I forgot that the UK has riots without the advantage of using the Euro. Sorry.
