About This Tour
Edinburgh is a city bursting with history, but also with bookishness; so much so that it was the first city in the world to be awarded UNESCO’s ‘City of Literature’ title. Now, for the first time, you can take a tour which delves deeper than ever before into both our history and our literary connections, from Sherlock Holmes to Harry Potter! Come with 7 Hills Tours and your guide, Edinburgh native Dr Moray Grigor, on the deepest, most comprehensive coach tour ever offered in Edinburgh, traversing the whole city from the sea to the hills (with short tea break) to bring you our historic and literary secrets, all presented in the engaging style that has won 6 complete years of 5 star review for Moray's other tours. Together we'll be imagining the scenes and events that made history, and there will be chocolate prizes on offer for correct answers to our history and literature quiz questions! Historic and literary surprises absolutely guaranteed – plus the warmest of Scottish welcomes!
