Edinburgh Castle Guided Walking Tour - Entry Tickets Included

ladybugmom3, Aug 2026

Amazing tour!!!

We loved the tour and our guide Ben C was so knowledgeable, charismatic and passionate for his love of Scotland's history. Worth every penny! I will even add that we missed our scheduled 10 o’clock tour and we showed up for the 2 o’clock tour to see if there was any possibility of us joining that tour, the two gals that were in charge were so kind and accommodating. Somehow they worked it out getting us tickets so we could join the tour, if they read this review they will know who they are, thanks again!

Paniz_R, Aug 2026

10/10 tour!

Ben was an amazing tour guide! He was knowledgeable, entertaining, and made the Edinburgh Castle and Royal Mile tour so enjoyable. I learned a lot and had a great time. Definitely recommend this tour and Ben as your guide. And one important tip: bring an umbrella… Edinburgh weather likes to join the tour too! ☔😂

Edinburgh: Loch Ness, Glencoe and The Highlands

Jordan_S, Aug 2026

If you are wanting to see...

If you are wanting to see the beauty of the Scottish highlands, have your chance at a sight of Nessie, and learn about Scottish history, you are in the right place. Phil was a fantastic guide and provided vast knowledge, quick wit, and professionalism. This day trip was definitely a highlight of our holiday. The day starts off around 7:30 when you load onto a coach, the seats were nice and even had charging ports for your phone. Then begins the tour learning about historical figures such as William Wallace - the first stop was a good place to grab brekkie around 9 am, during the stop, there is a great gift shop and hairy coo’s (also known as highland cows), from there you set off to the lowlands and highlands with quick stops for photo opportunities. Lunch was one of the longer stops in a really cute town with good stores, kind residents, and some great food. There were more stops for photos and to get out and stretch your legs (including photos of Ben Nevis - highest mountain in the UK) before arriving to Loch Ness - there is an opportunity to do a boat ride (definitely recommend) and learn more about the mythical Nessie and enjoy the views of the loch. You then set off back towards Edinburgh where you stop off for a quick drink or bite in Pitlorchy - they are famous for their Scotch whisky ice creams - you should definitely grab a scoop. From there you head back to Edinburgh for about a 12.5 hour day. 5/5 would recommend to anyone wanting to explore the highlands.

Stunning Castle, Great Tour Guide!

My husband, daughter and I very much enjoyed our Castle tour. Our guide was so friendly, funny & knowledgeable. He seemed to care about everyone in the group in terms of staying together and answered all questions thoroughly. He taught us the most about Edinburgh even though we have been on tours of 2 other sights since meeting him. Highly recommend this tour!

Marina_L, Aug 2026

Coach tour at it's Finest !

Will , our driver / guide was incredible! We booked to see the sights without the hassle of driving/ parking etc . But actually Will was so knowledgeable ,History had never been so riveting. He had us hooked all ages were quietly listening. Just the right amount of fascinating facts interspersed with humour, humanity, songs and music . A 12 hour tour that flew by . The Hairy Coo sets the bar High . I have been on several tours with different companies but never as enthralling. Would throughly recommend even if your a local.

Superb tour of Highlands high points

A well-organized and superbly conducted tour. The itinerary allowed us to take in quite a few sights without feeling rushed. Our driver and guide, Robert (“Robbie”) was excellent; personable, knowledgeable, and attentive to our needs. The Loch Ness cruise was an especially memorable part of the day. Highly recommended.

Best tour guide and tour company

Excellent tour. James was the best tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and brought history to life. He also is extremely entertaining-his delivery is exceptional. He explained that the tour company is a small group of historians- very special. I highly recommend this tour.

Inverness: The Isle of Skye and Eilean Donan Castle

Michael_S, Aug 2026

Long day but worth it!

Saw some wonderful sights and learned the history of each. Our guide, Liall from Timberbush, was both knowledgeable and entertaining. He’s a professional and made great recommendations for lunch, restrooms, and shopping. We went mid- August… not too crowded and the weather could not have been nicer.

Underground Vaults Walking Tour in Edinburgh Old Town

HollyEdgar, Aug 2026

No dead bodies found!

It was fascinating learning about the history of the Edinburgh bridge vaults. The tour guide was informative and engaging while walking the group through dark and damp corridors. Even though the long history of the vaults is generally depressing, I found the experience very worthwhile.

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

Valerie_L, Aug 2026

Highly recommend the Isle of sky, Highlands, and Loch Ness three day tour!!!!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the three-day Isle of Skye, Highlands & Loch Ness tour, and our guide, Gillian, was truly exceptional! From the very beginning, Gillian was friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and incredibly experienced. Her stories and knowledge of Scotland made the beautiful scenery and places we visited even more memorable. One thing we especially appreciated was what an excellent and safe driver she was. We traveled on many narrow, winding roads, and at times the weather was quite challenging. Through it all, I always felt completely safe and comfortable with Gillian behind the wheel. Three days is a lot of time to spend with a tour guide, and Gillian made every day enjoyable. She was warm, engaging, professional, and genuinely seemed to care that everyone was having a wonderful experience. Gillian is simply one of the best tour guides anyone could ask for. She was a huge part of what made our trip through the Scottish Highlands and Isle of Skye so special. We would highly recommend this tour—and if you’re lucky enough to have Gillian as your guide, you’re in for a fantastic experience!

Edinburgh Castle: Guided Walking Tour with Entry Ticket

Brandy_C, Aug 2026

I cant remember our...

I cant remember our guides name but I really appreciated the fact that he said the names, locations, and/or dates when he started talking and then again after he was finished. He was Scottish and had a Scottish accent but was clear and easy to understand! We originally were not going to go on a tour of the castle but they were sold out (Aug/Fringe festival) of tickets so we checked Viator and they had tickets + tour and truth be told I am glad we took the tour. Seeing the buildings are great but without some of the historical information behind it I think you do yourself a bit of disservice, unless you have done the research yourself. The tour is done outside of the individual building(s) but within the castle walls so once the tour is over you can go explore with additional information. We did the 10 am tour which was perfect because it allowed up to be done with the tour, have lunch and be outside ready for the 1 pm cannon. It was very very very crowded (Aug/fringe) but IMO well worth it!
