What are people saying about Edinburgh

Jim_A, Oct 2026

The tour guide was very...

The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the castle and its history. He also had a good sense of humour, which kept the tour upbeat. The tour includes only the outside areas within the castle as large groups aren't able to fit in certain indoor areas. However, once you have your ticket, you're free to explore the indoor portions for the rest of the day once the tour ends. The guide was helpful in this area by recommending certain buildings or rooms he considered of particular importance or interest to see.

Wonderful to go to St Andrews. We are golfers and were thrilled to go to St Andrews. It is a quaint little town on the east coast of Scotland. We also enjoyed the museum of golfing and playing on the putting green. I was not impressed with the other parts of the trip like. The town of Falkland and Fife but. They were minor stops. Our driver Fitz was a good driver and guide.

Excellent tour with...

Excellent tour with Highland Experiences! The day was long, but they made every effort to make you comfortable on the tour bus and with stops along the way. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Scottish history and obviously proud of his Scottish identity - wonderful to listen to his stories and experiences. The highlight was Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle - bucket list place for us! We could easily have spent more time there. The scenery throughout the day was magnificent and a perfect way to see the Highlands if you are limited on time in Scotland.

Edinburgh Castle and Royal Mile Walking Tour - Ticket Included

Ann_B, Oct 2026

Highly recommend

James was wonderful and entertaining and quite full of information of the history of the royal mile and castle. The group size of 8 was ideal to be nimble enough to maneuver around the larger groups. Would highly recommend. The tour is entirely outdoors so, dress appropriately as the wind can be quite strong once at the castle. Also plan on exploring the castle for a bit after the tour.

Edinburgh: Loch Ness, Glencoe and The Highlands

Molly_G, Oct 2026

Awesome Day Trip

Was a great trip from Edinburgh. Our driver Scott was funny and very informative. He had no shortage of knowledge of Scottish history and geographic locations. We got to snap some beautiful photos of Glencoe and took the boat ride on Loch Ness. A lovely day and a great way to see the the highlands on a day trip. It is a very long day, but it was worth it for my friend and I to see what we got to see.

Edinburgh Castle

Ben C. with Little Fish Tours was an awesome tour guide and shared some very insightful information about the castle during the tour. After four stops within the castle, the tour was over and we were left to explore all of the exhibits on our own. Viator does simplify booking tours, but adds another layer of cost to each tour.

CHERYL_J, Oct 2026

Great tour and guide!

It was really worth it. The castle is huge so having someone to explain and explore with you is priceless. Our tour guide, Big G (Graeme), was amazing! So knowledgeable and very friendly with a great sense of humor. Could not have asked for a better guide, just wish the tour was longer!! lol! But our guide hit the highlights and then we had the rest of the day to explore the rest.

Glenfinnan, Glencoe and Scottish Highlands Day Tour

Joyce_E, Oct 2026

Wonderful trip!

For Harry Potter fans, this is a must. For all.others that want to see the highlands in all its glory, this a must. Our guide Jason made sure to touch upon all the high poiints, and also give us plenty of history. Would recommend this. Suggestion would be if he is going to play music, turn it up so.others can hear it.

Loch Ness, Scottish Highlands, Glencoe and Pitlochry Tour

Steven_T, Oct 2026

Stunning

This is a full 12 hour day. You spend a lot of time on a bus but get plenty of stops for bathroom breaks and site seeing. The bus ride is part of the experience and the landscape and sites are well worth the experience. Do the optional cruise and castle visit at Loch Ness. Again this is a long day but the sites are stunning. We never felt rushed and our bus driver guide Jamie was fantastic and made sure everyone knew when and where to meet.

Edinburgh: Glenfinnan Viaduct, Glencoe & Fort William

halise_y, Oct 2026

Great tour

The trip was wonderful. Holly was a great driver and guide. She was funny and had a lot of info and history to share as we visited each location. We were able to meet some heilan coo’s, see the Jacobite train passing, and more. The only part that sucked was at the stops the lines were very long for breakfast/coffee, but if you can skip that, lunch is the next stop. So I would have spent more time with the cows had I known better. The long drive on the bus did not feel very long due to the interactive driver.

Edinburgh Castle: Guided Walking Tour with Entry Ticket

Sheila_G, Sep 2026

Insightful

This was an excellent opportunity to have a better understanding of Edinburgh and the significance of this beautiful castle. Glenn was our Tour Guide and he was entertaining and knowledgeable. After about 1 hr 30 min of interesting information we had plenty of time to explore more on our own. Would definitely recommend for a good jumpstart to your holiday.
