Things to do in Holyrood Park

Leanne was such a wonderful guide. she’s v knowledgeable and has tons of interesting facts. 10 stars!

the tour started on time and gave a very good background of whisky. it ended with a short but sweet taste of a whisky of your choice. would recommend for whisky lovers— though it may leave you wanting to try more of the whisky kinds.

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!

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.

Our guide Jacqueline was very bubbly and fun. She made the long ride enjoyable. Actual fees for the distillery tour and tasting not part of the overall tour fee and paid directly to the distillery, so it was a good flexible option. Interesting and informative. Drives were long so the whole day will take you to only 2 distilleries with only short in-between stops for quick photo snaps of the views and lunch. Overall, the tour was relaxing and enjoyable for a beginners' guide to get a full view of the Scotch whisky experience, much better than any Scotch whisky experience just in Edinburgh. Worth going out of the city for.

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.

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 staff were friendly and welcoming. The actors made you felt integrated into the stories told before ya. We enjoyed every minute of the show. Note: no photo taking/filming allowed inside. Pro tip: volunteer to be a character and have fun!

Our family had an absolutely brilliant time on this 2-hour walking tour! Exploring the actual streets that inspired the Harry Potter universe was incredible. Our tour guide was phenomenal—super knowledgeable and kept us completely engaged the entire time. The best part was the interactive trivia: the guide asked us questions throughout the walk, allowing us to earn points for our chosen Hogwarts houses. It really brought out our competitive sides! ​The route was perfectly paced for walking. Wandering through Greyfriars Kirkyard to spot familiar names on the tombstones was a huge highlight. Strolling down Victoria Street (it really does feel exactly like Diagon Alley!) and taking in the historic atmosphere around the Royal Mile, Grassmarket, and Potterrow made the whole experience feel incredibly immersive. ​A fantastic, well-organized tour with a great balance of real Edinburgh history and wizarding world magic. Highly recommend it for any fan!
