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.

A delightful tour, long but not tiring or boring. All locations were managed according to plan, and we even had an extra visit at the end to see the Hairy Coos again, as we were too busy shopping to take photos at the beginning of the tour. The price was quite competitive, and the tour team was professional. A good experience.

The Holy Island and Alnwick Castle tour from Edinburgh was truly unforgettable. The mysterious tidal island was picturesque, and the ancient castle, a filming location for Harry Potter, was filled with history and magic. The entire Northumberland coastline scenery was absolutely stunning. I highly recommend it! Since public transportation to Holy Island is inconvenient and infrequent, joining a day tour with bus transfers is the most time-saving and effortless option.

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.

We had an excellent Loch Ness tour with Jack today. He was friendly, professional, and an outstanding guide. His extensive knowledge of Scottish history, culture, and local legends made the journey both fascinating and enjoyable. The tour was informative and memorable. Thank you Jack for a fantastic experience.

What to know before visiting Edinburgh

What to expect in City of Edinburgh

City of Edinburgh draws most bookings for Tours, Historical sites, and Theme parks, with attraction passes and the occasional cruise also popular. Demand varies through the year: bookings peak in June and dip in March, so the city alternates between busy summer months and much quieter spring and winter periods.

Best times to visit and price patterns

Klook booking data show June is the busiest month while March is the quietest. Prices move differently across the year: Klook’s past prices were typically lowest in September and highest in February, and overall you can see prices rising into the winter and peaking again in early-year months. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider visiting around September; for that lively peak-season atmosphere, aim for June. Note that demand peaks in June while the priciest months in historical pricing are centered in February, so crowd levels and price peaks do not exactly match.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Filipino travellers typically book about two weeks ahead, with many planning further in advance for big trips and a sizeable share booking earlier. If you want flexibility, many popular experiences still allow last-minute bookings, but locking things in around two weeks before you travel helps in June and other busy months. Use Klook to compare tours, historical-site entries and passes and secure tickets in advance when your dates are fixed.
