What are people saying about Scotland

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.

Lori_T, Oct 2026

Unforgettable!

What an amazing day! I’m so glad I decided to do this excursion. Even though it was a 12-hour day, it honestly didn’t feel that long! The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the stops along the way were incredible. The only downside was that the bus was completely full with 56 people, so it felt a little cramped at times. Our tour guide, Terry Marie, was fantastic—very knowledgeable, friendly, and personable. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and I would definitely recommend this tour!

Fun time!

We’ve found that walking tours are much more fun than walking around with headphones on listening to a recording. The guide was knowledgeable and funny and we had just the right amount of history then plenty of time after the tour to see the castle on our own. We started the walking tour at noon and left the castle at 5 and didn’t see everything but saw what we wanted to see. Definitely worth it.

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.

Val_L, Oct 2026

A Must Do

Two + hour tour led by a very knowledgable guide. He did a nice job sharing the history of Scotland in a manner that was very helpful for our understanding. The tour started about mid-Royal mile and ended at the castle with a tour of the grounds. The guide paced it well with many stops along the way. Be aware that for those with mobility issues their are periods of standing for 5-10 mins followed by walking on uneven surfaces. This is inevitable for a tour in a city as old and unique as Edinburgh. Our guide did a great job managing the pacing.

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.

Brodie and Timberbush made our Isle of Skye trip worth it!

Brodie was an outstanding guide for our 3-day Timberbush tour of the Isle of Skye. He seamlessly blended local history and captivating Scottish lore with hilarious personal anecdotes that kept everyone entertained throughout the journey :) Beyond being knowledgeable, Brodie had an incredible eye for setting us up at all the best vantage points for photos. What truly set him apart was how far he went above and beyond, both the big details and the thoughtful little gestures made a huge difference! If we get the opportunity to explore more of Scotland, we really hope we get Brodie as our guide again. Thank you Brodie, and Timberbush! 😊

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.

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.
