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.

Easy to redeem at any station; and valid for 24 or 48 hours. the audio guide is nice to hear. it’s also relatively frequent (each 10min). Good to learn, but note Edinburgh is walk-friendly and so can also walk.

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.

A fun experience! A guide in costume acting as Queen Mary of the Scots led us to several “spooky” underground spots in Old Edinburgh, coupled with detailed retellings of the tragedies and horrors that had happened. Evening tours certainly added the thrill to the experience.

Such an incredible trip! The Scottish Highlands were absolutely beautiful — Glencoe’s scenery was breathtaking and Loch Ness was peaceful and mysterious. The guide was friendly and shared lots of interesting stories. A perfect way to experience Scotland’s natural beauty! 🏞️🐉
