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.

Superb. We got to see a guided animation on scotch whisky production, followed with a tasting session on selected distinct whiskeys from each unique region. We also got to keep the special tasting glass.

Went on the 3D2N Isle of Skye, Scottish Highlands and Loch Ness Tour with the boys. Our amazing and witty tour guide, Neil, truly gave us an unforgettable experience with his active engagement and storytelling with stunning visuals. Although the sun set early during winter and the weather wasn’t in our favor, we managed to cover most of our itinerary with Neil’s strategic planning. Strongly recommend Timberbush Tours if it’s your first time in Scotland.

The hop-on hop-off bus tour was an excellent way to explore Edinburgh, especially for first-time visitors. It made getting around the city easy and convenient while covering all the major attractions, including the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, and more.
The audio guide was informative and easy to follow, sharing interesting history and fun facts about the city. The flexibility to hop off at different stops, explore at your own pace, and then hop back on made the experience stress-free and enjoyable.
The buses were comfortable, frequent, and offered great views from the upper deck—perfect for sightseeing and photos. This tour helped us get oriented and see a lot of the city in a short amount of time.
Highly recommended for anyone wanting a relaxed and efficient way to see Edinburgh.

This is a very nice package. My group of friends got this and added the premium one as well. One thing I would suggest though to the admins, is to make the Edinburgh castle inclusion in the premium pass as guided tour already instead if the audio tour only. I booked an additional Edinburgh castle guided tour as we prefer to have an actual guide. This is an additional cost of course which could have been allocated to a different type of attraction instead. When I claimed the vouchers (printed it through one of the staff in th street) he reminded me that the premium pass already included the Edinburgh castle ticket, and as I also bought a separate Edinburgh Castle Guided tour in Klook, he just tore off the voucher (hopefully he gave it to other tourists). But I am sure that this is not the first time this has happened as they seemed to be nonchalant about it.

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.

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.
