What are people saying about Edinburgh

Sajeeva_R, Aug 2026

Massive Castle grounds and museums

We had an excellent tour and historical narration of the esplanade leading up to the Castle and the castle grounds themselves , thanks to our knowledgeable tour guide Will. Will and his narration made the history come alive. There is a lot to see in the castle grounds and he pointed out the history of sights that were worth our time. Following the 90 minute guided tour, we could stay in the castle grounds complex and explore various buildings and museums till close. (530-6 pm). There is a lot to see here with various buildings on the castle ground being setup like museums. With Will we felt that we were taken back to the past and history came alive

A Unique Experience

What a wonderful and fun experience! Their is a lot of Harris Tweed in Scotland but to make your case own one-of-a-kind bag takes it to another level. This is a must do for men, women, and children alike. There is so much to choose from that our world be nice to show all options available so that it can make it easier to decide when you get there rather than being rushed. I wish they had the same choices in genuine rather than vegan leather. I would’ve chose the round satchel or backpack.

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

Heather_L, Aug 2026

Amazing trip through the Isle of Skye

This was ana amazing trip to the Isle of Skye!! Michelle was an incredible tour guide, and Timberbush tours was fantastic. I never would have thought we could see so many amazing places in 3 days, but it was fun and not too busy. It included some hiking but that was always optional.

Edinburgh Castle and Royal Mile Walking Tour - Ticket Included

David_T, Aug 2026

A Must Tour in Edinburgh!

A wonderful tour through the Royal Mile up to Edinburgh Castle. Lots of interesting historical facts. Some serious and many simply good fun. Mark, our tour guide did a great job at moving in a good pace but slow enough for some of our other tour members to keep up. He was funny and happy to field questions along the way.

Guided Tour Castle Edinburgh - Top Top Guide 👌

1 1/2 hours lasting tour with a very kind and nice tour guide, called Matthew. The guide was clearly speaking - which was most likely due to his education as an actor - and had interesting things to tell not only about the history of the castle, but also nice and gorgeous background stories. Time was flying and we can say that we definitely gained a very very good overview about the numerous buildings on this site.

Jenny was wonderful and so knowledgeable. She made the experience fun, whimsical and educational. As a big fan of Harry Potter, she taught me a deeper level while showing the locations around Edinburgh. As a solo traveller, she made me feel comfortable during the experience. Thanks Jenny!!

Underground Vaults Walking Tour in Edinburgh Old Town

Jake_M, July 2026

A fantastic experience

We had a wonderful time on the Vaults tour! Our guide, Jordan, was excellent. He was incredibly well rehearsed, very knowledgeable, and made the whole tour a great laugh. The tour strikes a brilliant balance between local history and interesting facts. It feels completely genuine and does not try to pretend to be anything it is not. It offers great value for money and is suitable for all ages. You get to see a unique side of the city that you would never experience on your own. A special thank you to the team for being so accommodating when we accidentally booked the wrong day. They sorted everything out for us smoothly and without any hassle. Next time we will definitely book the scarier tour option. 100% recommended to everyone, thank you for a fantastic time! Jordan was a great guide.

Well done Neil 👏

Loch Ness, Scottish Highlands, Glencoe and Pitlochry Tour

charmaine_T, July 2026

Paul S rocks!

We did the Highlands, Loch Ness, and Pitlochry tour, and our tour guide, Paul S, was absolutely phenomenal! He was incredibly friendly, funny, and made the entire day enjoyable from start to finish. Paul’s knowledge of Scottish history, culture, and traditions was outstanding. I especially appreciated how he shared fascinating historical facts throughout the journey—I learned so much about Scotland. To top it all off, his music playlist was fantastic and really added to the experience. If you’re booking this tour, I sincerely hope you get Paul S as your guide. He truly made our trip unforgettable! P/S: nice kilt, Paul S!

Loch Ness, Glencoe, the Highlands Guided Day Tour from Edinburgh

MaryAnne_P, July 2026

Scottish Highlands is a must!

So happy that we booked this tour to the Scottish Highlands! Stevie B navigated us safely on our journey while giving us great information along the way. His humor and kind manner made what could have been a very long day a truly wonderful experience for our family. We did not have many days in Edinburgh but sacrificing one city day was well worth it. The Highlands are so beautiful-don’t miss it! If you are prone to car sickness-don’t forget the Dramamine as you are on the bus for a long time.

Lots of great stories and history about the castle and all its many spaces. Fabulous guide who kept us entertained the whole time. She knew exactly where to take us for all the great views. Really enjoyed it all. One thing to note, you get all the time you want inside the castle!

Glenfinnan, Glencoe and Scottish Highlands Day Tour

Anthony_W, July 2026

Very good, but don’t expect a steam engine!

Tom was a very knowledgeable and funny driver. Due to accidents, we had to avoid certain areas and roads and even missed out on one of our stops. But Tom quickly redirected us somewhere else and we still had a good time. Great job! FYI, if you are looking for a steam engine for the Harry Potter train, they had to switch to a diesel engine.
