Edimburgo Passeios

Itinerary: Arranged by the travel agency, but sometimes mixed with a Scottish accent, so your English listening skills need to be strong enough to understand the guides along the way. Accommodation choices: Fantastic, most of them were quite good, but some require cash, so be sure to check in advance whether credit cards are accepted. Tour guide: Excellent. The spots visited were all amazing, and being a local, the explanations were spot on. If you're interested in history, listening to them is definitely the right choice. Attractions: Each one was better than the last, making every penny spent well worth it.

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!

My guide and driver for the day was Keith (09 May 26). I chose the Loch Ness and Highlands tour. The drive was very informative and educational; I was able to appreciate the history of Scotland and the Highlands. The areas we visited and the nature were beautiful too. The drive felt safe, and I was also able to appreciate the scenery along the way.

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 had 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.

The tour started on time and provided a very good background on whisky. It ended with a short but sweet tasting of a whisky of your choice. I would recommend it for whisky lovers—though it may leave you wanting to try more types of whisky.

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 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.

A delightful tour, long but not tiring or boring. All places were covered as planned, and there was even an extra visit at the end to see the Hairy Coos again, as we didn't get a chance to take photos at the beginning of the tour due to being busy shopping. 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.
