Edinburgh Hidden Gems Self-Guided Private Tour
Forget about crowds, schedules or lines! With Pandemic Tours' self-guided experiences your phone is your new private guide.
In this incredible experience, Moira will show you a less-known walk, slightly off the beaten track but nonetheless, one that is steeped in the past and beauty: A Tour to Duddingston Village!
This is a wonderful and informative experience for anyone to enjoy - however a certain level of fitness is required (or you can take a taxi).
Discover how Duddingston Village is a magical slice of history, art, nature, architecture and tales. In these small streets, you'll meet Mary Queen of Scots, Bonnie Prince Charlie, Raeburn and Walter Scott - a beheaded Queen, a would-be King, a famous artist, and a renowned writer. Plus, you will learn about Holyrood Park and the story behind the oldest working Church in Scotland.
PS: You will get an email with instructions for downloading our app and redeeming your unique code (different code than your booking reference number).

Standing on the main pavement, outside Canongate Kirk, we find the statue of Robert Ferguson. We cannot walk past this statue and not wonder who he is, and why he is so prominent on the Canongate. You will learn everything about this important character as we move on on this tour.
