Our tour guide was Jen and she was knowledgable and hilarious! Her storytelling is great, it was easy to follow and listen through. The overall experience took about 1.5hrs including the walk from St Giles Cathedral, entry was also simple and quick. Edinburgh is quite rainy in November so bring a small umbrella or wear a waterproof jacket. We had to walk up slopes, stairs and stand around so make sure you are able to stand and walk for about 1.5hrs. We were also free to explore the castle on our own after the tour. Would recommend if you love hearing about history and there are some things that you will not find out if you do a self guided tour, the locals know best. easy to redeem via Klook.

I had a fantastic experience on the Jacobite Steam Train and Scottish Highlands tour. The highlight of the journey was our amazing guide, Sophie, whose knowledge of the area brought the history and beauty of the Highlands to life. She included a few surprise stops that were absolutely breathtaking and added so much value to the trip. Sophie was incredibly helpful, kind, and attentive throughout the day – a true asset to the tour. One suggestion I’d like to make is for West Coast Railways: during summer, the carriages can get uncomfortably hot due to a lack of air conditioning and proper ventilation. Installing air conditioning would significantly improve passenger comfort, especially during warm weather. Overall, I highly recommend this tour – and especially if you get Sophie as your guide!

Absolutely awesome tour. Our guide Dom was so fantastic! So knowledgeable and informative and very humorous. Gave us a fantastic insight into what’s beneath our feet as we roam this beautiful city. Took a photo and it looks like there’s two odd faces behind Dom .. so maybe a light trick or maybe we caught two wee ghoulies?
