Things to do in Edinburgh

Itinerary: Arranged by the travel agency, but sometimes mixed with a Scottish accent, so your English listening skills need to be strong enough to understand the guides along the way. Accommodation choices: Fantastic, most of them were quite good, but some require cash, so be sure to check in advance whether credit cards are accepted. Tour guide: Excellent. The spots visited were all amazing, and being a local, the explanations were spot on. If you're interested in history, listening to them is definitely the right choice. Attractions: Each one was better than the last, making every penny spent well worth it.

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!

my guide and driver for the day was Keith (09 May 26). 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.

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!

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.

The tour was amazing. It exceeded all of my expectations. I recommend this to whoever is coming to Edinburgh.

I booked a tour of the Palace of Holyroodhouse on Monday at 4 PM. It wasn’t very crowded, which made the visit even more enjoyable. There’s so much history to discover, especially through the beautiful paintings and rooms. Definitely worth a visit!

I did a boat ride, a hop on hop off bus and a tour of the Edinburgh Castle. This is the perfect bundle if you want to do several excursions. I loved the variety and ease of redemption.
