What are people saying about Edinburgh

Meghan_D, May 2026

Wonderful engaging Staff!!

We were traveling for the day, and I was with my elderly parents. We were late meeting the group, and they called to check in. They were so accommodating. Be aware that there is quite a bit of uphill walking, which proceed to be too much for my mom. But the tour guides helped us navigate how to get out of the castle and sat with her for quite a while in the cafe, so my dad and I could see a bit. The other tour guides helped us who was telling the stories and explaining the history was also top tier! Joe was very engaging and I could have listened to his stories all day.

Edinburgh Castle & Royal Mile Walking Tour - Ticket Included

Douglas_C, May 2026

I’m from Edinburgh and even I thought this was well worth the time.

Very much a walking tour. Covers interesting historical eras. Mark our guide was excellent. We asked questions outside the tour subject/eras and he answered all with great detail. He was flexible with how the walk developed as official visitor to the castle forced changes. Again, he did this without missing a beat

Highly recommend!!!

Ben was fantastic!!! Did not need an audio box as Ben’s voice projected well so you could hear and understand him. Went to areas that were less hectic where he gave his tour for the area we were in and by the time he finished was empty and easy to take pictures. Loved his knowledge of history and his interpretation of it.

Great tour of Edinburgh Castle with Ross

We really enjoyed the exterior tour of Edinburgh Castle with Ross as our guide. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the history of the castle fascinating from start to finish. His enthusiasm and storytelling kept the whole group interested, and we learned so much while having a great time. Highly recommend this tour with Ross!

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

Michele_N, May 2026

Must see Scotland!

This trip is a MUST DO. It is a long drive but worth every minute because you get to see the total beauty of Scotland from the city to the country and everything in between. Skye is absolutely gorgeous and staying in a B&B was wonderful because we got to know our host who is a true Scot! The small motor coach was very comfortable and it was really nice traveling with a small group! Our guide Martin was extremely knowledgeable and very accommodating to our requests (like seeing Highland Coos). We had plenty of stops to stretch our legs, get some coffee and use the public facilities which were all very clean. I highly recommend this trip!!

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.

Anthony’s OUTSTANDING tour of Glencoe, Loch Ness and Highlands

Anthony was an outstanding Tour guide and Bus Driver. He is very knowledgable and informative in the history and showing us the highlights of each destination. He is friendly, outgoing, interactive, and extremely funny. It made it easy to connect and ask questions and feel part of the group. He is an exceptional driver with the narrow roadways and small parking spots with the huge bus we rode on. All travellers will feel fortunate to have Anthony leading your group!!! Grateful for this amazing Tour.
