Great 4.0
The apartment is in a great location, just a short walk from the main sightseeing spots. The room was clean and comfortable, and it even had a small kitchen area if you feel like cooking a simple meal.

I booked this tour after reading a review from someone who seemed to be Japanese and had taken the same course. As a huge Harry Potter fan, I thought, "I can't miss this opportunity!" 🧙‍♂️✶ It turned out to be fantastic! 👏🏻🌿✨ Not only did we visit Harry Potter-related locations, but we also got to try famous Scottish whisky ice cream and see Highland cattle – it was even more packed with experiences than I expected! I went with a friend who is fluent in English, while I'm not as proficient, but the explanations were easy to understand, and the jokes were great and made it very enjoyable. (Even if your English isn't great, you can still enjoy it because the content is amazing, but you'll have even more fun if you understand some English, as you'll be able to appreciate the historical background and jokes!) We all sang Queen songs together, and the bus tour itself had a unique, overseas atmosphere, which was wonderful! 🎶 Our tour guide was a woman named Holly 🫶🏻 Thank you for the wonderful tour!! (There were families, couples, and solo travelers on the tour, so it seems like it would be enjoyable for a wide range of ages!) (There were a few slightly elevated areas to get to the viewpoints! Be careful with your shoes 👟)

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.

The guide was very passionate, which was great. It was a fantastic experience, almost like a virtual reality experience. I would have enjoyed it even more if my English were better, but it was still a thoroughly enjoyable experience. You can sample four whiskeys, so if you like whiskey, I recommend upgrading to the Gold option. But honestly, I found it hard to discern the flavors the guide was describing... haha....

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!
