    We had a great time. Our tour guide was informative and was a great storyteller with a great knowledge of the town. You could tell he really likes his job. I only wish we had a longer tour so he could tell us more! If you’re lucky enough to get Scott as a tour guide, you will not be disappointed.

    An insightful tour of the Royal Mile with interesting facts and stories of the city’s history and people.

    Our guide was amazing! The earphones worked beautifully as we meandered through the busy streets of Edinburgh. His stories were not only interesting but delivered eloquently. I’m so glad we opted for the tour of Edinburgh Castle. We walked right in at arrival and it was a sold out day.

    Our guide, Scot, was very knowledgeable and very pleasant. He told us lots of great stories. He made history come alive. He was very sensitive to making everyone feel comfortable on the tour.

  5. Matthew_Y

    The tour was informative enough but the young guide was not as knowledgeable and entertaining as others even though she tried to be.

    Margaret Ann was a good tour guide and we enjoyed walking the wonderful Royal Mile and hearing stories of long ago and how Edinburgh was hundreds of years ago. We ended up at Edinburgh Castle where most did the tour inside the castle but I did not. It was a beautiful day and I enjoyed the grounds around the castle, such a beautiful spot.

  8. PatriciaLeigh_P

    We both loved our walking tour. Scott was a super host. So patient, informative and his pride in his heritage and passion for the history of Edinburgh was evident – and inspiring! Having the colouring and
    chatty character of a Scotsman was great too! Thank you Scott.

    Linda was great! I enjoyed the humor along with a good amount of history and local insight. Learned some “secrets” about the royal mile and some tips for future exploration.

    We loved the stories that Stephanie told as we strolled the Royal Mile. It brought a whole different perspective of this historic place – more than just the pubs and tourist shops.

    This was one of the best walking tours we’ve ever taken in spite of the rain! Our guide Veni was engaging and so informative. Her love of Scotland and history made our time fly by. Highly recommend this tour for all ages.

    Our guide Scott was amazing!! He took the time to answer questions and was very thorough and informative with his extensive knowledge of Edinburgh and it’s history. He was very helpful and made sure the group were safe when crossing roads and making sure we were all together!! Highly recommend this tour and if you get Scott as your tour guide then you’re to have a great experience!!!

  14. Celia_B

    Very good experience with a knowledgeable tour guide, Margaret. Lots of interesting history, which we’d have missed if not for our guide pointing it out to us. The Royal Mile walking tour is a good way to visit the sights and learn about Edinburgh and its importance for Scotland.

  15. Nita_C

    So informative. Scott was excellent and accommodated and very attentive to everyone’s pace. Amazing tour, highly recommend.

  16. Joseph_M

    Antony was definitely the highlight of our trip!! He took us to all the best sights and many that were off the beaten path.

  17. Peter_D

    Great overview and history of Old Town and introductory tour of Edinburgh Castle with plenty of free time afterwards. Charles was very knowledgeable. The headsets were really nice to have so you didn’t miss a word even if you fell behind to snap a photo or take a closer look at something. Excellent tour, excellent guide, excellent company

  18. Todd_W

    Entertaining tour and our guide Veni was amazing! Wonderful history lessons and a fun walk up the Royal Mile to the Castle. Great value and would absolutely recommend!!! Loved it!!

  19. Steven_T

    Took this tour with Linda and she was fabulous. Not only was she a wealth of knowledge but she was extremely funny and the time flew by. Just as a note I tried to book it with the castle tour, but I was unable to do it on Viator. However when I arrived they said it was still available and our entire group did the castle tour afterwards. However, we had already done it in the morning.

    Margaret Ann did an awesome tour. Audio was very helpful for the tour. She took us to various spots you may not know to see. Very knowledgeable and definitely loves Scotland and her history. Recommend her tour for her insights and knowledge.
