Edinburgh Castle Ticket with Guided Tour

Richard is an excellent tour guide - witty yet he allows the guests to fully understand the history of Scotland and its thorny relationship with England. He is such an excellent storyteller. I would recommend this tour very highly. If there is a way to choose a guide, then choose Richard. I will give this tour 5 stars.

Great Tour! The guide (Marcos) is super enthusiastic and passionate about edinburgh castle which he share all the history of it. Will definitely recommend it!

It was an excellent tour experience. The guide was very knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories throughout. Even when it started raining, he continued without interruption and completed the entire explanation on time. After his briefing, we had plenty of time to explore the castle on our own. The castle itself was huge and beautiful — definitely a must-visit.

Engaging guide who injected both history and humour in equal measure in her talk. The ticket is for single entry so it’s recommended that you stay on within the castle compounds after the tour to explore the 13 museums. Area is small so tour groups aren’t allowed unless it’s an open area.

Our tour guide was Jen and she was knowledgable and hilarious! Her storytelling is great, it was easy to follow and listen through. The overall experience took about 1.5hrs including the walk from St Giles Cathedral, entry was also simple and quick. Edinburgh is quite rainy in November so bring a small umbrella or wear a waterproof jacket. We had to walk up slopes, stairs and stand around so make sure you are able to stand and walk for about 1.5hrs. We were also free to explore the castle on our own after the tour. Would recommend if you love hearing about history and there are some things that you will not find out if you do a self guided tour, the locals know best. easy to redeem via Klook.

The tour encountered a lot of bumps along the way (people went straight to the castle, people being left outside the entrance, tour guide wasn't given her ticket 😅) but Valeria handled it very well with utmost professionalism. And with both her wittiness and charm everything turned out fine in the end and we all enjoyed the tour.

Valeria was a enthusiastic guide, gave out lots of jokes on top of the detailed information that she gave about the castle. Much appreciated!

i always get klook because the tour instructions, tour guides & the tour itself are very convenient. unforgettable & wonderful Edinburgh castle tour

It would be great if the organiser could attach a photo of the meet up point because it can be confusing to locate the tour given only the location opposite of St Giles Cathedral. I personally had to ask around multiple people who looked like guides and finally found mine. You'll then be joining the group for a brief walk up along the Royal Mile to the entrance of the castle. Good opportunity to brush up on the history but if that's not your interest, I suggest to just skip the guide and go on your own. Having said that, our guide Ross did a fantastic job with his enthusiastic sharing and light jokes. Fyi, your guide won't be joining you on your visits into each area/ exhibition in the castle so you'll be on your own but I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem. Depending on your tour schedule, you can also check out the 1 PM firing of canon if you happen to be there in that time of the day. One more tip from me is that the entrance to the castle is only few walks away from the Scotch Whisky Experience so I hope this helps with your travel planning.

Edinburg Castle walking tour is a great way to learn about the castle. Our tour guide, Sonia was very energetic and her good anecdotes made the tour more enjoyable
