Edinburgh Castle Guided Walking Tour - Entry Tickets included

kskbidder, Jun 2026

Fun & Informative Tour

This was a great and informative tour! We had a lot of fun and would highly recommend. One thing to note, while the tour guide is not allowed in the various buildings in the castle, the price includes access to everything on site. We didn't realize that and had bought separate entrance tickets, which we didn't need. Also, make sure to do a tour in the morning so you are in the grounds at 1:00 for the firing of the gun. Fun!

We had the greatest time accomodation was spotless and had beautiful decor.

Excellent walking & castle tour

Great tour! The walking portion was far more informative than I expected. Our guide, Zenon, was friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. We had heavy rain hit but he knew spots to duck into and stay dry. The castle was beautiful but less to see than I expected. Would recommend!

Edinburgh: Loch Ness, Glencoe & The Highlands

Mike_D, Jun 2026

Best tour we have been on- thanks PHIL

Great trip through the Scottish Highlands. Our guide and bus driver Phil of Stewart Tours was exceptional in his historical accounts, his driving skills, his recommendations of places to see during our scheduled stops, his selection of stops to see the beauty of the Highlands and of course his singing skills (great rendition of the Scottish Anthem Phil- brilliant). The boat tour of Loch Ness (an extra charge) was excellent and highly recommended. It was a bit colder on the lake so dress accordingly. Long day (around 12 hours) so be prepared for all kinds of weather, bring a little food and drink and lots of layers as the weather changes very quickly in the Highlands. Also please note the tour is on a time schedule that was important to keep as the day is very full of activities. One of the things we loved most as there is not any wasted time. Thanks Phil for the beautiful day. Truly our best guided tour of what is an absolutely beautiful country.

Edinburgh Castle: Guided Walking Tour with Entry Ticket

Pamela_F, Jun 2026

Jen the TourGuide was awesome!!

Well, it all started with my mistakes! I booked a Spanish speaking tour- we don’t speak Spanish. Then, I didn’t read that we had a meeting place rather than meeting at the castle. Once the mistakes were realized, we went up to a man with a black/yellow umbrella and asked questions. He jumped into action and messaged someone to come help us. Within a few minutes, someone arrived with our tickets and allowed us to join in with an English speaking tour. What a stoke of luck! We ended up with Jen and what a delight! She is a wealth of information and entertaining! What a great time!

From meeting Jordan we were a small group who attended this tour and it was obvious that we might to be onto a winner. Jordan was informative and we already knew some interesting historical facts before entering the vaults. I can confirm that if you are of a nervous disposition this tour may be enough to quench your thirst. I'm not adverse to a bit of intrigue but I'm glad we didn't do the haunted tour. Jordan made it just enough for us. 5 stars Informative Freindly

Sherri_S, May 2026

Great way to spend a day in Scotland

Well-paced. Plenty of stops for bathrooms/leg-stretching. Very comfortable. Amazing views and vistas. Guide was very knowledgeable, and provided a great balance of information and humor. Bus has power so bring a charging cord - there are lots of opportunities to take pictures/videos and on a 12 hour trip, you can burn through your battery.

Loch Ness, Scottish Highlands, Glencoe and Pitlochry Tour

Dee_K, May 2026

Enjoyable day in the Highlands.

We had a fun day driving up into the Highlands with Stuart, our driver and guide. He told us lots of interesting stories about the history of Scotland and played Scottish songs for us. We really enjoyed seeing all the different landscapes and felt like we had a good sense of what the Highlands looked like. We opted out of the cruise on Loch Ness and had a delicious lunch instead but in retrospect I would take the cruise because it’s a very big lake, and from our vantage point on the shore we could only see a small bit of it. I would like to have seen more.

Glenfinnan, Glencoe and Scottish Highlands Day Tour

Matt_F, May 2026

One of the best ways to check out Glenfinnan from Edinburgh

Great tour that charts a really nice route out of Edinburgh and into the Highlands. The tour covers a LOT of road, but honestly it felt so quick thanks to our wonderful guide’s stories and banter. The bus was comfy, and there were sufficient stops for bathrooms or snacks. Importantly, our guide gave a great heads up about when the next stop/bathroom would be. He also gave great pointers about what to stop by at every location. Overall, had a really nice time on this tour to Glenfinnan!!

St Andrews & the Fishing Villages of Fife Small-Group Day Tour from Edinburgh

ARTURO_P, May 2026

A very informative and entertaining day.

We booked this tour because I am a golfer and wanted to see the Old Course at St. Andrews. That mission was accomplished but it was only part of a great day when David, our tour guide and driver, made sure we enjoyed visits to a couple of charming small towns and the Fourth Bridge. David’s knowledge of history and current activities was clear, but also his great disposition and sense of humor. The tour was not shorts of laughter. We highly recommend it.
