The person that took the tour billy I think he was called was very good at showing you the places and telling the stories of the time.

The tour was well executed and considering the amount of territory we covered, the visiting times were good and well managed.

Really great tour. I highly recommend when visiting Edinburgh. It was so cool to be on Her Majesty's royal yacht and see all the amazing memorabilia. To know you're in a place that the Queen and and prince Philip once loved and were there.

Particularly like the audio headsets that not only told explained where you were in the house, but also you had an opportunity to see certain rooms differently, by 'scratching' the scene. Plus the old palace and grounds were great to see.

I love most our guide, Jen! And the castle, of course! But Jen is the best guide! So much information presented in an original, lively and funny way!

Amazing experience!! Absolutely loved every second of day out. From finally being able to see koala bears in person (my all time favourite animal) to seeing atty the baby sloth, this was hands down the best day ever. I spent 4 hours here and even then I felt I could have spent so much more time

One of the bucket items my wife wanted to do years ago. All was just right apart from the cold winds. Staff and fellow guests were great and the staff on the bus's were so helpfull espeacilly Murray. We would recommend the visit to the Britannia resturant to anyone, the queue said it all. All the greet and meet staff through out the experience were first class.
