This is particularly good for travelling with elderly who are less able to walk. Our family were able to have a glimpse of the city without walking up and down the slopes. The staff are all helpful and friendly. Would be even better if we could see a clear display of the name of the stop we are at (like those you can see on the train).

The Hop-On Hop-Off bus is a fantastic way to see Edinburgh’s attractions. The commentary was informative, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The live tracking through the app was mostly accurate and overall, it was a convenient way to explore the city.

The Royal Edinburgh Tour was indeed very royal. I learned so much of the history and seen so much. The Edinburgh Castle was magnificent, The Holyrood Palace was wonderful and the Royal Britannia was eye opening.

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!

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.

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.

What to know before visiting Edinburgh
Quick snapshot of City of Edinburgh
City of Edinburgh attracts bookings mainly for tours, historical sites and attraction passes, with a year that swings between a very busy summer and much quieter winter months. Demand peaks in August and hits a low in March, so the rhythm of the year moves from lively festival-season months to a much calmer off-season.
Best times to visit and how prices behave
August is the peak month for demand, while March is the trough, and demand is noticeably higher across late spring and summer. Prices, however, don’t follow demand exactly: Klook data shows October typically has the highest prices, whereas November is usually the cheapest month. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, consider travelling in November or March when demand is low and prices trend down; if you want peak-season atmosphere and the festival buzz, aim for August but expect higher demand and mixed price patterns.
Tips for travellers from Hong Kong
Many travellers from Hong Kong book experiences roughly two weeks ahead on average, with some locking in plans even earlier; this makes basic planning useful, especially for travel during August. For shorter, flexible trips you can still find last-minute options a day out, but for popular dates book earlier on Klook to improve your chances of securing tours and passes.
