BethJ_M, Aug 2026

The BEST Way to See a City

I recommend the Hop On Hop Off bus experience for any city you visit. I have used it in 4 different European cities. The bus gives you a great orientation to the city, historical information and anecdotes, through ear buds, as you travel by the location. If you get the 48 hour ticket, it’s helpful for traveling to sights you may want to get off, visit and then hop back on to another location.

Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle - Small Group Walking Tour

Christine_L, Aug 2026

Phenomenal tour

This is a fantastic tour and we could not have had a better experience thanks to our tour guide, Linda. Linda is warm, funny, super knowledgeable and integrated each of us into the tour. The audio equipment was perfect and very much appreciated. It was great to skip the line at the castle especially in August in Edinburgh. I learned a lot about the history, architecture, and culture of Scotland.

Great tour, Graeme was supper cool!

We almost missed out on Edinburgh castle because tickets were sold out for the days we were there! We went in early August. Thank goodness Viator had tours with included castle tickets. Our tour guide was fun and knowledgeable- we chose Graeme out of the 2 tour guide options because he was very tall and we could spot him easily in the huge crowd of tourists. We chose well ;) Thanks Graeme!!

Edinburgh Castle and Royal Mile Walking Tour - Ticket Included

Dnyanraj_B, Aug 2026

Nicole was awesome! Best way to see Edinburgh

We did the 11am tour with Nicole and she totally nailed the timing so we could catch the 1pm gun at the castle. We happened to be there on day one of the Fringe Festival, so the Royal Mile was insanely crowded and loud with street performers everywhere. Somehow Nicole still managed to find quiet little spots to fill us in on the history without having to yell over the noise. She clearly knows the area inside and out, and her stories about Edinburgh, the Royal Mile, and the castle gave us a great feel for the city right off the bat. If you can request her, do it!

Edinburgh Premium Food and Drink Tour with EatWalk Tours

Katie_N, Jul 2026

All the Scottish highlights

Absolutely loved our food tour with Tamara. She was fun, friendly, and full of information on the food we were sampling and the city of Edinburgh. We had 4 stops, although I understand they can vary. Ours definitely hit Scottish highlights: Stop 1: Haggis, neeps and tatties. To drink, Irn Bru Stop 2: Scotch Egg Stop 3: White fish and wine Stop 4: Sticky Toffee Pudding. To drink, whiskey or beer We all left full, but not too full. We have done a lot of food tours in a lot of different countries and this ranks amongst the best.

Food, Fun, Friends!

This tour was worth the time and money! Our guide Carlos was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. We learned a lot about the city of Edinburgh and the country of Scotland, sampled some delicious food, and sipped on some local whiskey. Lots of history, laughs, and food were shared with new friends.
