What are people saying about Edinburgh

Andrea_S, Aug 2026

Great tour, great tour guide!!

Alistair was a great tour guide. Lots of knowledge, amusing and went at a good pace for the whole group. Alistair referred to the group as the family, and talked about making sure everyone was looking out for each other, which I thought was a nice way to set the scene for the tour. I really enjoyed learning some of the history of the Castle.

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

Anuj_S, Aug 2026

Exceptional

We had a fantastic time on the Loch Ness tour yesterday. It was a really enjoyable and memorable experience from start to finish. The sights along on the way were breathtaking. There are more than enough breaks through the journey making it not a tiring one. A special thank you to our guide, Louise, who made the day even more special. She was so friendly and welcoming, and her knowledge of Scotland, especially the folklore and local stories, was brilliant. We really enjoyed listening to her stories along the way. You could really tell that she loves what she does.

Loch Ness, Scottish Highlands, Glencoe and Pitlochry Tour

★★★★★ Marco Made This Tour Unforgettable

We did the Loch Ness, Scottish Highlands, Glencoe and Pitlochry Tour, and our guide Marco was incredible. He was a very safe driver, extremely communicative, and kept things lively and fun the entire day. He's the type of guy you'd genuinely want to hang out with as a friend — easygoing and laid-back, but completely dialed in and on top of everything at the same time. The Highlands were more beautiful than I could have ever hoped for. Marco kept us in the loop whenever we passed a site or scene used in a movie, telling us exactly what film and scene it was — his knowledge was impressive. You could tell he's done this tour a thousand times and still genuinely loves his job. One tip for future travelers: be back at the bus on time. These drivers are under real pressure to stay within their legally allotted driving hours, so they don't have much room to wait around for slow-comers. We had a couple of people in our group who tended to drag their feet, which held everyone up. A little punctuality goes a long way in keeping the day running smoothly for everyone, including the driver. Aside from that, this was a fantastic day from start to finish. Highly recommend, and ask for Marco if you can!

Daniela_V, Aug 2026

Helpful Experience

This was a great way to spend time in Edinburgh. It was helpful to be guided instead of wandering around. It made it easier to walk around after and find things to do. Ricky was the best guide. He gave a lot of information and funny/whitty commentary. Congratulations on 20 years and officially becoming a Scot! Thank you for a great tour.

We are back home but...

We are back home but physically, mentally in scenic views of highlands. Those comfy seats made 12 journey so short and definitely Ian our guide so passionate about what he does made it even more interesting by sharing his knowledge with us. In the end i would say iam coming back again.

Underground Vaults Walking Tour in Edinburgh Old Town

Sylvia_M, Aug 2026

Excellent tour

Luisa was a fantastic guide and she made it a really memorable experience. Her clear communication and sense of humour brought the stories and history to life, as well as kept a large group of tourists together and on-track. The vaults were very interesting. I’ll keep my review of the vaults there to avoid ruining the surprise, but they’re certainly worth a visit!

Susan_D, Aug 2026

Absolutely Amazing!

Our trip to Skye was an unforgettable journey! The rain and wind simply added to the experience of the “Real Skye!” I recommend without reservation! Martin was a perfect guide, making adjustments when weather suggested them and keeping us engaged with history and just the right amount of humor! He ensured our entire company was comfortably situated and enjoying the tour. Thank you Martin!! It was a sad day when we bid farewell to Skye…for a time.
