A Funny History of Edinburgh Walking Tour: With A Professional Stand-Up Comic! **What Is The Tour?** Join one of Scotland’s funniest historical tour guides for a light hearted look at the history of the most iconic thoroughfare in the country, Edinburgh’s Royal Mile. We will cover the history of the royals, power, innovation and the most important thing - the remarkable people that made this city (with extreme bias!) the most wonderful place on earth. Beginning at the top of the mile next to the longest continuously occupied fortress in Scotland that dominates the skyline, your tour guide/comedian will tell you stories of great battles over the centuries, before making our way down the glorious mile. We will finish outside the current official Royal residence, the magnificent Holyrood Palace.In between be prepared for some breathtaking tales, dark stories, bright moments, all the time you will be laughing as well as learning. Our main guide, Ross Leslie, is a 5-time Scottish Comedian of the Year finalist and has been entertaining audiences on stage and on the Royal Mile for several years. We have limited numbers per time slot, so no massive groups in comparison to other similar experiences, so you will receive a more personal experience with lots of access to our guide. Follow our social media to see more photos and videos of our fabulous shows. Search "Good Egg Comedy" on Instagram, Facebook or TikTok. **Audience Reviews** 'The overall atmosphere of the tour was perfect—lively, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish, this was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend Ross to anyone visiting Edinburgh'. Rachel 'Amazing! Very funny and informative' Jamie 'I’ve been solo traveling for the first time and this has been my favorite tour so far. Our guide, Ross, was the man'. Sean 'Our guide, Ross, was very knowledgeable, entertaining, and friendly to boot! Also he has loads of helpful recommendations. If I could plan my trip again, I would start with this tour'.
