What are people saying about Scotland

U5069FUmariam, Nov 2026

Delighted!!

My sister and I took the Edinburgh Castle tour and we could not be happier with the experience. We want to especially highlight Jesus, our guide, who made the visit most pleasant, interesting, and fun. His explanations were very enjoyable, approachable, and full of anecdotes, making us learn a lot about the history of the castle without it ever becoming tedious or boring. We laughed, enjoyed ourselves, and learned almost without realizing it. In addition, Jesus was very kind and attentive throughout the entire tour. It is a pleasure to find professionals who enjoy what they do and know how to convey it so well. Without a doubt, we would repeat and hire him again! Totally recommended.

Underground Vaults Walking Tour in Edinburgh Old Town

Jose_Y, Nov 2026

Fun and creepy!

This tour was fun and creepy! A good blend of Edinburgh history as well as ghost stories. Brandon was a great tour guide. I don't know if that's just how he normally is or if he was being more theatrical for the tour, but he was entertaining! You also get to see a Wiccan ritual room as part of the tour, which was interesting, informative, and creepy. It's pretty dark in the vaults and can get claustrophobic. This tour may not be suitable for people with mobility issues, as there are stairs, and the first step is a doozy! If you have difficulty walking or navigating stairs, I wouldn't recommend it. If anything, I wish the tour was longer and we got to go further into the vaults.

Great Castle Tour with an Entertaining Guide!

Great tour, very informative! Our guide, Campbell (if I remember his name correctly), was a really great storyteller. He was very entertaining and told us all about the history of Edinburgh Castle, its significance throughout the centuries, and the people and events associated with it. He started the tour by introducing himself and having everyone in the group introduce themselves, including where we're from and even our astrology signs! LOL. My favorite part was actually Campbell's storytelling. He covered a lot of history, but a few stories that really stood out to me were Mary Queen of Scots, the One o'Clock Gun (which was originally used to help ships synchronize their clocks), and Bobby the dog. The way he tells a story and builds it up really makes it interesting. A few tips: The castle grounds are uneven, and you'll be walking on cobblestones, so wear comfortable shoes. Also, once the guided tour is over, you're free to stay and explore the castle on your own. We must've spent another two hours checking out the Crown Jewels, the military museum, and other exhibits. There are also restrooms and cafés inside the castle, so if you need to use the bathroom or grab a bite to eat, you're covered. I definitely recommend this tour!

Glenfinnan, Glencoe and Scottish Highlands Day Tour

Breathtaking landscapes

Great excursion with our guide Gary, very friendly! The landscapes were magnificent and Gary's explanations as well as his anecdotes were fascinating! An activity not to be missed if you are in Edinburgh! We spend more time on the bus than outside, but the landscapes are incredible. Small downside: we were slightly disappointed not to have been able to see the Highland cows in a beautiful spot. We only caught a glimpse of one on the side of the road.

An exciting tour with a TOP-notch guide!

A big thank you to Julie, our French guide, for this tour! You can see right away that she is passionate about what she is talking about and that she manages to immerse us in the history from the very first minutes. We absolutely did not see the two hours go by! We highly recommend this tour, and even more so with Julie!! 😊

The process of creating...

The process of creating your own satchel at The Islander was fun & the hardest part was figuring out which tartan & bag color combination to pick. Gabby & Zoe from the shop guided us through the process & they were wonderful! I’m so pleased with my bag, and you can even purchase an alternative cover which will allow me to use my bag in different seasons. There were lots of smaller items available at the store as well, so I was able to round out my gift shopping.

Edinburgh: Loch Ness, Glencoe and The Highlands

Excursion to the Scottish Highlands in Spanish

It is a very complete excursion. Along the way, we made several stops at different sites to enjoy the Scottish landscape. During the bus ride, Cristo, our guide, explained everything about the history and curiosities of those lands to us, and thanks to him, the hours on the bus were much more pleasant. We were lucky to be a small group, which made the excursion much more intimate. Without a doubt, it is worth dedicating a day of your visit to Edinburgh to take this excursion!

Haunted Vaults and Graveyard Walking Tour in Edinburgh

Z7789IFmarieh, Nov 2026

Superb experience in the vaults & cemetery.

We booked the tour of the cemetery and the Vaults for 10/31/2026 (8pm). We were lucky to have Nick as a guide. He made the experience incredible. We particularly enjoyed his stories and anecdotes about the city of Edinburgh and more specifically about Greyfriars Kirkyard and the Vaults (exclusive to the Auld Reekie Tour). With Auld Reekie Tour, we found exactly what we were looking for: to learn more about the dark past of the cemetery and the vaults, without it being theatrical or satirical. Nick knew how to captivate our attention and immerse us in the world as we imagined it. We took 2 other guided tours during our stay, and Auld Reekie Tour is the best! Thanks again to Nick for guiding us. We 100% recommend the experience!
