Traveler reviews
Edinburgh Castle Tour is not to be missed!
We toured Edinburgh Castle with Step, who was fantastic. She was knowledgeable, funny, and respectful of everyone in the group. From start to finish, she demonstrated her knowledge of Scotland and the castle. This tour is not to be missed. Glad we did it on our first full day!
Wonderful Tour Highly recommend!
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. I’m Muñoz. Our tour guide, Campbell, was funny and knowledgeable in all aspects of the castle. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. I highly recommend this tour as it gives you all the highlights and then time on your own to check out different spots in the castle area. If I could give it more than five stars, I would.
