Best Guided Tour We’ve Experienced

This guided tour of Edinburgh Castle was excellent.. Uan our guide was knowledgeable, humorous and made the experience totally worthwhile. He answered all questions put to him, not only about the castle but the city. His anecdotes, but also real history facts, were informed and interesting.

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

Timothy_S, Oct 2026

Stopped at several...

Stopped at several picture areas and rest breaks with bathrooms on the way to Loch Ness. Took a boat ride, but didn’t see any signs of Nessy. Stopped at a couple rest areas, one had a decent shop with Highland cows. Our driver Paul was really, really good!

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

Sarah_B, Sept 2026

Callum was the best!

This tour is an amazing way to explore the Highlands especially if it’s your first time visiting. The stops are perfect and the accommodations are lovely. Callum was a WONDERFUL driver and was happy to accommodate any additional needs the group had or answer any questions we had. He made this tour the highlight of our trip!

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.

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.

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.
