What are people saying about Edinburgh

Edinburgh Castle Guided Walking Tour - Entry Tickets Included

Michael_C, Oct 2026

There is a lot to take in...

There is a lot to take in about the history of the castle. To appreciate the tour more I suggest reading some of this beforehand. Also be prepared for lots of people from many other tour groups. The guide did a good job of speaking loudly enough for people to hear but in some areas of the castle it was very congested.

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 and Royal Mile Walking Tour - Ticket Included

Karen_D, Oct 2026

Experience the Edinburgh Castle &. Royal Mile

The Edinburgh Castle & Royal Mile walk was a great tour. For us, the timing worked well and our tour guide BEN gave us many historical, informative insights about the city. The tour included many interesting stops that the average person would miss. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a good overview of the history and viewing of the architecture and culture of the castle.

Loch Ness, Scottish Highlands, Glencoe and Pitlochry Tour

Jakob_B, Oct 2026

Exactly What We Were Looking For

This is a great tour. It shows you beautiful scenes across the Highlands at a fantastic value. While it's a long day with a lot of driving, your driver will keep things interesting with interesting tidbits about Scottish culture, history, and the sites. It never gets overbearing, with plenty of downtime on the longer elements of the drive. Had we tried to get a similar view of the Highlands any other way, we'd have spent far more money and not had nearly as good of an experience. I'd highly recommend bringing snacks because there's a long period between the start of the trip and the stop in a village with lunch options in mid-afternoon. You'll make a few stops at particularly scenic spots, and at cute hospitality towns along the way. We took the boat tour, which was a nice, casual break in the day. A huge shout-out to our driver Brian Smith. He's extremely charming and funny with just the right energy for the tour. I've taken plenty of tours on other trips, and I think I like Brian the most of any guide I've had.

Wonderful experience! I...

Wonderful experience! I learned a lot of history and was entertained with some fun stories. There are also amazing views. It was fun being on the tour when the gun was fired at 1pm. I suggest planning on spending at least an hour exploring the castle on your own after the tour.

Edinburgh: Loch Ness, Glencoe and The Highlands

Mari_M, Oct 2026

Great trip. Fantastic guide

Arrive way before arrival time as it's seating first on gets best seat. We were on time but didn't get to sit together as we happened to be last on bus. I assumed seating would be based on ticket number so people travell7ng together could sit beside one another. Maybe something for the company to consider for future trips. However that aside, it was an excelling outing. The scenery was breathtaking and the boat was amazing. However it was Ewan Fisher our guide who made the trip. He was highly entertaining with loads of funny anecdotes, also very knowledgeable About the history of the country while giving a refreshingly personal content too.

Underground Vaults Walking Tour in Edinburgh Old Town

Natasha_M, Oct 2026

Don’t miss the Underground Vaults tours.

The Underground Vaults were fantastic. Such an interesting but spooky history whilst you are walking inside the vaults. I was in Edinburgh for a solo day trip and this was a great activity to explore. Our tour guide, Jordan, was brilliant. He spoke loud and clear for all participants, especially those who were from different countries. He explained Edinburgh’s dark history and landmarks before leading us to the vaults.

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

Michael_S, Oct 2026

Wonderful Experience

Fantastic, It was all handled very well with just enough time in each spot to appreciate the location and get some photos. We had plenty of rest stops along the way. Felix was our guide and he was wonderful - informative and helpful and very kind. Our 5 year old grandson really took to him! Timberbush appears to run a very professional operation. we saw them everywhere across the Highlands. I actually wish we’d had more time to explore more of the Highlands- but we had to move on back to London!

Glenfinnan, Glencoe and Scottish Highlands Day Tour

Evan_P, Sep 2026

As someone who has always...

As someone who has always wanted to see the Scottish Highlands, this trip did not disappoint me. It is a long day, however the bus ride was engaging and scenery was worth the drive. Our tour guide Stephen was very knowledgeable and was very clear with communication throughout which was helpful in making sure we maintained our itinerary. If I return to Scotland I would definitely consider taking another tour with this company.

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.

Lafayette was an absolutely fantastic guide: engaging, funny, and a brilliant storyteller. He brought the history of Edinburgh’s underground to life with just the right mix of fascinating history, spooky stories, and humor. The atmosphere was incredible, and he made the whole experience feel both genuinely eerie and great fun.
