This was a fantastic...
This was a fantastic tour! We covered a lot of ground and stopped at both famous sites and lesser-known areas I wouldn't have thought to visit on a self-guided tour. Our tour guide James was also extremely informative and a great storyteller who had a lot of interesting facts to share. Highly recommend for solo and group travelers alike who have a limited time in Edinburgh and want to make the most of their stay!

Terrific experience.
Vindalanda was amazing A lot to see. We also walked through fields next to Hadrians Wall. Some of these are farm fields so watch your step! Wear boots! Everyone enjoyed the trip, driver was very informative about history, local customs, anything you wanted to ask about Scotland and parts of Northern England.

First Time in Edinburgh
It was a great tour! We learned a great deal of Scottish history, including details of the founding of the city. The closes off the Royal Mile hold secrets and treasures that are worth a peak. Walking where kings and queens once did always excites my soul! Be prepared for rain as you will get wet and make sure your shoes are comfortable and rainproof. Callum with Mercat Tours was very knowledgeable and excellent tour guide!

Best look at southern Scotland and Northern England!
This is a very educational and enjoyable overview of the area. Rosslyn Chapel is stunning, and the countryside is beautiful. Hadrian's wall and the fort are an incredible piece of history. Our Guide, Angela incorporated local music and pointed out unexpected extras!

Hop-on-hop-off History Lesson
Hop -on-hop-off buses are really the best way to see a city like Edinburgh. Buy the pass to ride all three buses because the routes are slightly different with the blue bus going all the way out to Leith. The live guides or the recorded guides on the buses are a great way to learn about the city. You can get off at any stop and get back on by simply scanning your ticket, so make sure you keep it handy. The tour passes are 24 hours or 48 depending on which one you purchase and start the first time you get on a bus.

Great Tour Guide!
Our tour was fantastic! Adam was incredibly knowledgeable and informative, and you could tell he really enjoyed sharing the history and stories with us. He also had quite the sense of humor—he clearly thought he was a comedian, and honestly, that made the tour even more fun! 😂 Highly recommend him if you want a tour that is both educational and entertaining.

Highlands High! A beautiful day trip with no responsibility!
What a wonderful experience we had! We are normally not 'book a tour' people, but we had one day to experience the Highlands and wanted to relax and let someone else do the work! Our guide/driver - Roddy - was amazing. His historical knowledge of everywhere we went was impressive, and he made us feel very comfortable during our 12-hour day (bathroom breaks, temperature control within the bus, etc). We loved that there were only 13 people on the bus, versus a giant group where you feel herded. Highly recommend!

One of the Best Tours and Tour Guides
First, “Big G” (Graeme) was so personable and incredibly knowledgeable. The history as we explored Old Town was made both fascinating and entertaining! Edinburgh is a city full of history, mystery and architectural delights. And we learned about all of this with one of the best tour guides we ever had.
Thank you Big G!

Scottish Icons
We had a great time on this tour. Our tour guide was Paul and he was both informative and funny. The Kelpies are a wonder to see close and the story behind there making is a good one! The Bonnie, bonnie banks of Lock Lomand - short stop here but oh so beautiful.
We stopped for lunch in the quaint town of Callendar then onto the castle. Magnificent views and so much history. Great tour.

Darren was an awesome...
Darren was an awesome guide. Was well informed about the area and perfectly blended history with enough ghost stories to throughly entertain us. He also has a natural talent for story telling which added to our enjoyment.
The venues themselves were also fun. Both the greyfriars graveyard and the vaults.

Would definitely recommend
My sister and I had a wonderful experience with Sean Gordon. He was friendly, passionate about Scotland’s history and geology, funny, considerate and punctual. The van was very nice, but my only complaint is, as a plus sized person (16-18), the seatbelt fit fine but then had very little give which got uncomfortable for me after a a few hours. For people larger than me, they did have seatbelt extenders on hand.

A must do day trip!
This bus trip takes you out of the city of Edinburgh and into the magical Scotland highlands. The views are outstanding. Pictures truly do not do it justice. Our tour guide Thomas was phenomenal and very informative. Driver (Chris I think) was so great! I learned so much on this trip. It was a beautiful outing. Keep in mind it's a long day trip (12 to 13 hours) but the views are totally worth it.
