Fantastic 5.0
Got ourselves a 7-day Global Pass and travelled through 5 countries. Buying the pass was easy but how to use the app for activating the pass will need some time to learn. However, fear not as there are many experienced people out willing to share. Do some readings and join some fb travel groups and you will surprised by the information available. The pass was flexible but the train schedule can be unpredictable which means you need to be updated requently to stay on course of your journey. We only experienced one hicccup on one of the trips at Berlin due to seat reservation issue and missing the connecting train due to delay of the first train. The other trips were as planned.

Easy to use, just need to activate before you take the train and scan the QR code on the gate. Britrail pass is the solution for multi-city journey, as train can change schedule anytime or gone (no more that timing). Keep checking on the hanging screen to see whether your train change platform / change timing / gone

Airport Express provides a reliable, affordable, and easy-to-use transportation option between the airport and Edinburgh city center. Bright Bus has become a popular choice, often matching or exceeding Airlink's value with comparable amenities at a slightly cheaper price.

It's very convenient to use. I saw a local notice saying that it would be available even before 9 AM starting in September, but further confirmation is needed. If you're visiting Scotland, it would be really convenient to purchase and go.

The online voucher was easy to activate and use. While our trip was affected by Storm Amy and some ScotRail trains were canceled, Klook provided support with our refund requests.

The guide was very passionate, which was great. It was a fantastic experience, almost like a virtual reality experience. I would have enjoyed it even more if my English were better, but it was still a thoroughly enjoyable experience. You can sample four whiskeys, so if you like whiskey, I recommend upgrading to the Gold option. But honestly, I found it hard to discern the flavors the guide was describing... haha....

Includes 3 tastings, a cocktail, gin, and whiskey. An interesting experience at the only distillery in Edinburgh. Tour takes 1.5 hours.

Fantastic Ultimate Whisky Tour – Highly Recommended! Had a wonderful experience on the Ultimate Whisky Tour. Our guide, an elderly gentleman, was full of enthusiasm and shared a wealth of knowledge about whisky, history, and the region. His passion truly elevated the tour! He gave us ample time at each stop to enjoy the tastings and explore without feeling rushed. The entire day was well-paced and enjoyable. I really appreciated his warm personality and storytelling throughout the journey. A well-deserved 5-star rating for him and this great whisky experience. I’d definitely recommend this tour to any whisky lover visiting Scotland!

I had an amazing time on a pub crawl in Edinburgh, Scotland, where the city’s vibrant atmosphere and historic appeal blended seamlessly. Every place we stopped at was unique, ranging from snug, old-fashioned pubs boasting crackling fireplaces and flavorful ales to lively bars humming with music and cheer. The crawl was a fantastic opportunity to connect with people from different corners of the globe, swap stories, and bask in the welcoming Scottish spirit. Meandering through the Old Town’s cobblestone streets between pubs gave the night a magical feel, like a fusion of history, culture, and festivity. It was the ideal combination of fantastic drinks, great company, and Edinburgh’s unforgettable personality.
