What are people saying about Edinburgh

Kristine_L, Oct 2026

Very knowledgeable guides

I was the slowest in our group (arthritis in knee and hip) but our guide was very good and waited til we were all gathered before telling the historic stories. A lot of up hill walking on cobbles (not surprising!). It was a very good experience and the weather was with us.

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.

Great tour. Worth the price

First off, my flight got delayed and they were able to accommodate me by pushing out our reservation by 24 hours without charge or issues. We very much appreciated their flexibility. Our tour guide Rory was wonderful. Super knowledgeable and funny. The 2 hour tour flew by and we covered so much literally and figuratively. We got a fantastic overview of Edinburgh and Scottish history and were able to ask Rory tons of questions and for advice on where to go and what else to see. You won’t be disappointed. Strongly recommend on your first day assuming you don’t have flight delays like us. Thanks Rory!

Neil was our guide and fantastic from start to finish. Such a fun experience driving through the Highlands. It couldn’t have been more memorable. Neil was helpful and informative. He was funny and kind. It was obvious that he is genuinely passionate about the work.

St Andrews & the Fishing Villages of Fife Small-Group Day Tour from Edinburgh

Wonderful to go to St...

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.

Scottish Highlands, Loch Ness and Glencoe Day Trip from Edinburgh

Melissa_C, Oct 2026

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.

Lesley_C, Oct 2026

Informative and good guide

It was very informative experience and the guide made sure I could manage the steps. I am over 80 with arthritis and the vaults posed no problems. The guide was very informative and friendly which added to the experience and enabled us to imagine how wretched life must have been for so many working people.

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

Imelda_B, Oct 2026

Highland experience

Keith was an excellent guide! He was funny, informative, and kept the group engaged throughout the tour. He was also just the right amount of strict when it came to timing—which made sure everyone stayed on schedule and we got to see everything we were supposed to. His knowledge, humor, and organization made the experience really enjoyable. Highly recommend Keith!

Edinburgh Castle: Guided Walking Tour with Entry Ticket

Samantha_S, Oct 2026

Great Tour with Ingas

Great tour through the castle. Ingas was a great guide, and I learned a lot. He shared stories and pictures which brought the history to life. It's easy to walk past the buildings without a full understanding, so it is definitely recommended to have a tour to understand the history from a local.
