Let’s talk about exploring Edinburgh’s art scene through guided tours! We offer a fantastic selection of 18 different art tours within the city itself. You'll find that prices vary dramatically, ranging from just £5 up to a maximum of £678. This wide range reflects several key factors influencing the cost.
Generally, shorter tours lasting around 60 minutes will be at the lower end of the scale – £5 to perhaps £30. These tend to be shared group experiences, offering a basic overview of significant artworks and their historical context. Longer tours, spanning from 60 minutes to an impressive 600 minutes, naturally command higher prices, typically between £250 and £678.
The biggest drivers of price increases are the number of participants – private tours will significantly exceed group tour costs – and the inclusions offered. Tours with more detailed artistic analysis, access to exclusive collections or venues, or a dedicated guide will reflect this increased value.
Considering these factors, an average cost of around £150 for a tour is quite common. With an overall rating of 4.8/5, we believe our art tours represent excellent value for money and provide a rich understanding of Edinburgh’s artistic heritage. We encourage you to browse our selection and find the perfect tour to suit your interests and budget.
