The Glencoe and Glenfinnan tour was absolutely worth the price! We had an amazing time, not only exploring the breathtaking scenery but also enjoying the journey on the coach.
Our tour guide, Ash, was incredibly nice, friendly, and entertaining. We especially loved his great taste in music, which made the long drive even more enjoyable!
What impressed us most was how talented Ash is—he drives the coach while giving informative and engaging commentary at the same time! He made the history and stories behind the places we visited so interesting.
The stunning landscapes, great music, fascinating stories, and Ash’s wonderful personality made this an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended, and if you’re lucky enough to have Ash as your guide, you’re in for a fantastic day!

I chooses the lochness and highlands tour . the drive was very informative and educational, I am able to appreciate the history of Scotland and the highlands . The areas that we went to and nature was beautiful too. The drive felt safe and I was also able to appreciate the scenery along the way .

The arrangements were nearly perfect. Originally, we had difficulty getting entry tickets to Edinburgh Castle on their official website. While most travel agencies no longer have tickets for the day, we managed to get ours on Klook. The QR code was issued in less than a minute. The waiting place was convenient and the tour guide, Ignas, was easily identifiable. Yet, Ignas spoke with a very strong Scottish accent, which made it not always easy to follow. So, although he was very knowledgeable and helpful, the details of the description were not always fully understood. Nevertheless, the view at and from the castle was magnificent. Even though the path looked very steep and far from the city centre, it wasn’t difficult to get there. The rooms were definitely worth visiting. The souvenir shop also sold gifts that were exclusive to the castle. we also met the Queen and King James for a lovely photo. I would definitely recommend this visit.

A delightful tour, long but not tiring or boring. All locations were managed according to plan, and we even had an extra visit at the end to see the Hairy Coos again, as we were too busy shopping to take photos at the beginning of the tour. The price was quite competitive, and the tour team was professional. A good experience.

For anyone with a Loch Ness obsession, this is a very high-value tour that unlocks the Scottish Highlands and Loch Ness in a single day. A significant portion of the time is spent on the bus, and upon arriving at Loch Ness, you stay for about an hour, with the boat cruise taking up 50 minutes. The partner cruise company for this tour is Cruise Loch Ness, departing and returning to the same port, so you won't see Urquhart Castle at all (only tours departing from Inverness go there). It is recommended that as soon as you arrive at Loch Ness, you quickly head to the 'Loch Ness View Point Fort Augustus' spot on Google Maps to take a photo with the Loch Ness sign before boarding the boat. The outdoor second floor of the boat is very windy, while the indoor first floor has heating, and the windows on all four sides have Nessie graphics; we had a lot of fun taking pictures with these designs. The lake view itself is pretty, but has no other distinct features. The scenery of the Scottish Highlands is very similar to Iceland and quite beautiful, but the most stunning views are along the road. There are two or three stops in between to photograph the Highland landscape, plus a spot to take pictures of Highland cows. Because the driving distance from Edinburgh is very long, and UK regulations limit the daily working hours of drivers and tour guides to a maximum of 12 hours, you will feel quite rushed. However, for checking it off your bucket list, it offers great value. If you want to truly experience the charm of the Scottish Highlands, a multi-day tour or a self-drive trip is recommended. Also, the single malt Scotch whisky ice cream at Scotch corner is delicious—you have to eat it no matter how cold it is!

The Old Town and Underground Ghost Tour in Edinburgh was a really enjoyable experience, mainly because of the tour guide, James Douglas. He was extremely active, social, funny, and knew exactly how to keep everyone engaged. His sense of humor made the time fly by.
Honestly, during all my travels, I have never had a tour guide this entertaining and energetic. He was genuinely very good at what he does, and it made the whole experience much better.
I was expecting a little more from the tour itself besides walking around the city and visiting the underground tunnel area, but I still learned a lot about Edinburgh’s history and its magnificent architecture.
Big thanks to James Douglas for the wonderful time and positive energy throughout the tour. Definitely one of the most memorable guides I’ve had during my travels.

Best Places to Visit in Edinburgh
Edinburgh Castle
This fortress sits on top of Castle Rock and is one of Scotland’s top attractions. Inside, you can see the Crown Jewels, the Great Hall, and the Stone of Destiny. The views of the city are amazing.
Royal Mile
The Royal Mile connects Edinburgh Castle with Holyrood Palace. It’s full of historic buildings, souvenir shops, and cafés. You can also stop by St Giles Cathedral and Mary King’s Close along the way.
St. Giles' Cathedral
This church is famous for its gothic architecture and beautiful stained glass windows. The Thistle Chapel inside is especially detailed and worth a visit.
Grassmarket
A lively square full of pubs, restaurants, and shops. It’s right below Edinburgh Castle and perfect for people-watching or enjoying a local drink.
Arthur’s Seat and Holyrood Park
Climb Arthur’s Seat, an ancient volcano in Holyrood Park, for one of the best views in Edinburgh. It’s a popular hike and easy to reach from the city centre.
National Museum of Scotland
This free museum has exhibits on Scottish history, science, and world cultures. The Grand Gallery is bright and impressive, and the rooftop terrace has great views.
Dean Village
A peaceful area by the Water of Leith, just a short walk from Princes Street. The old houses and riverside views make it a great photo spot.
Greyfriars Kirkyard
One of Edinburgh’s oldest graveyards and a favorite for Harry Potter fans. It’s also home to the story of Greyfriars Bobby, the loyal dog statue nearby.
Tips for Visiting Edinburgh
1. Book Early During Festivals
Edinburgh gets very busy in August during the Fringe Festival and Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Hotels and shows sell out fast, so book tickets and rooms early to save money and stress.
2. Pack for All Weather
The weather in Edinburgh can change quickly. Bring layers, a light rain jacket, and good walking shoes. Even in summer, it can be cool and windy.
3. Use Public Transport
While Edinburgh is walkable, buses and trams are great for longer trips. You can pay with contactless cards. The tram also connects the city centre to Edinburgh Airport in about 30 minutes.
4. Take Day Trips
Edinburgh is the perfect city to start exploring more of Scotland. You can take day trips to the Scottish Highlands, Loch Ness, or Stirling Castle. Closer to the city, visit the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh or Royal Yacht Britannia for easy half-day adventures.
