What are people saying about Edinburgh

Edinburgh Castle and Royal Mile Walking Tour - Ticket Included

AURA_D, Sept 2026

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable tour with Ricky!

What an experience! Ricky was absolutely fantastic. Although he isn’t originally from Scotland, he has lived here for around 20 years and has been a tour guide for about 10—and you can definitely tell. His knowledge of Scottish history is incredible. But what really makes Ricky special is HOW he tells the stories. This isn’t your typical tour where someone simply gives you dates and historical facts. With Ricky, you feel like you’ve suddenly walked into a live theater performance! 😂 He has this larger-than-life personality—part storyteller, part actor, and somehow a wonderful combination of Scottish warrior, Viking, and pirate! 😂🏴‍☠️⚔️ He changes his voice, gets completely into character, and brings every story to life. You find yourself imagining the people, the battles, the streets, and the history happening right in front of you. The best proof of how entertaining he is? People who weren’t even on our tour actually stopped in the street to listen to him tell his stories! That was amazing to watch. Ricky doesn’t just explain Scottish history—he performs it. He made us laugh, kept us completely engaged, and made the history so much more memorable. If you have the opportunity to take a tour with Ricky, DO IT. You won’t just learn about Scotland—you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into one of its stories. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you, Ricky, for such a fun and unforgettable experience! 🏴❤️ NOTE. He loved my bag. That was funny how he kept saying his wife would go crazy about it.

Go see the Castle with Davey!

Davey was an amazing guide. He made learning about the Castle’s long history so much fun. Given the Castle is on a large hill it could be difficult for some folks but Davey made it super easy to keep up given we stopped to learn at many different spots. Highly recommend taking the tour of the Castle with Davey!

Great Tour

It was our first time in Scotland and took the Edinburgh castle tour with Jess as our guide. It was amazing and incredible insightful, Jess is hilarious and very knowledgeable. It was great to learn about the castle and its history. Would highly recommend!

Edinburgh: Loch Ness, Glencoe and The Highlands

Jessica_J, Sept 2026

Great guide, great tour

My guide, Anthony, was the best. Although I was traveling solo and got carsick on the way up to the highlands, through no fault of the tour, he made sure I was alright and the rest of the trip went great! Overall the highlands were beautiful. Make sure to take travel sickness meds if you’re sensitive to the winding roads

Glenfinnan, Glencoe and Scottish Highlands Day Tour

Adriana_K, Sept 2026

We enjoyed our trip very much!

This experience was very pleasant. Our driver and guide, Jason H., was very helpful and friendly. He knew exactly when to give information and when to let us enjoy the ride on our own. The highlight of the trip was the highlands and the Glenfinnan Viaduct (Hogwarts Express). The only downside of the trip was that you only get 10mins outside of the bus at the Highlands stop.

Edinburgh: Isle of Skye, Highlands and Loch Ness 3-Day Tour

Karen_J, Sept 2026

Isle of Skye

The scenery is stunning! Worth your time to go to Isle of Skye. The Fuaran B n B was absolutely perfect. Our host Angie was as delightful! She brought fresh rolls to our room every morning. Our driver, Andrew, was full of knowledge and humor. He made each day special, stopping for pictures and a story, accommodating for the weather as we went. This was one of the best tours I have gone on!

Loch Ness, Scottish Highlands, Glencoe and Pitlochry Tour

Kelsy_A, Sept 2026

Lots of driving, but breathtaking landscapes we wouldn't have otherwise seen, all narrated by a delightful guide

I booked the Loch Ness tour for myself, my partner, and four of my family members, all adults - we didn't realize just how much of it was going to be driving when we initially booked it, but the entire country of Scotland is absolutely gorgeous, so if you enjoy seeing breathtaking landscapes, this is definitely a wonderful option. With that being said, if you have issues sitting for extended periods of time, traveling up to Loch Ness may not be the best option for you. Our tour guide, Brian Smith, was an absolute delight - he shared hilarious personal stories as well as historical facts about Scotland, and you could immediately tell he genuinely takes pride in his country as well as being Scottish. There was a brief stop to meet three Highland Coos (definitely a personal highlight for all of us), a more-than-reasonable amount of bathroom breaks along the way, and we opted to do the Loch Ness boat ride when we arrived at our destination. Unfortunately, the weather didn't quite cooperate - it was fairly chilly and ultimately rained the majority of the time, but that was obviously outside of anyone's control, and we were still able to see some truly stunning views of the Loch. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys seeing landscapes and is ok with a fair amount of driving.

Underground Vaults Walking Tour in Edinburgh Old Town

Mike_C, Sept 2026

Spooky, fun and educational.

This tour was excellent. After a couple of days of sightseeing on my own in Edinburgh, this group tour was a welcome change of pace. It was interesting to learn about the city and its dark history. Our guide was cool and knowledgeable, and the group seemed to enjoy the tour. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a good time.

Loch Ness & Highlands Small-Group Tour from Edinburgh with Cruise

Beautiful tour of the highlands and Loch Ness.

Duncan was a great driver and guide. Be prepared for about eight of the twelve hours being seated and underway in the 16 seat van.. The seats are comfortable, but it’s a long day. Stops for food and/or bathroom are sufficient. You will have time to get baked goods or snacks at a few stops, or it acceptable to bring food with you. The highlands and Loch Ness were beautiful the day of our trip. Duncan, being native to the area, expertly narrated the trip and described points of interest with enthusiasm and good humor. Worthwhile tour for us.

The World Famous Underground Ghost Tour

Lisa_Z, Sept 2026

Good fun and lil spooky

Enjoyed the underground ghost tour. Felt safe being escorted around at night and it’s really close to the Royal Mile. Major Weir was a great guide with some good stories. The tombs were really interesting, and I liked finishing near Greyfriars Bobby after the graveyard, got to see the Bobby statue without all the crowds during the day. Plenty of places nearby for a drink afterwards too. Definitely worth doing at least once.
