I appreciated the commentary along the way and especially enjoyed my stop and walk about on Calton hill. A wonderful service for folks who are visiting and like to get a guided tour.

Edinburgh Dungeon. I wasn't expecting much; some cheezy, tourist trip. WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. Edinburgh Dungeon is great fun. The front of house staff are excellent and the performers working the various scenes are an absolute riot! We went with our two boys, aged 10 & 12, and sure, each found this or that scene a bit intense, but nothing traumatizing. Just a lot of fun while learning the horrible facts of life in "Auld Reekie" during the Middle Ages. For those unfamiliar, this isn't just a haunted house experience with jump scares. It is 10 (I think, 10) well-written and performed scenarios from the darker history of the city. A solid 80-plus minutes of genuine scares as you're guided from room to room, spending time at a suspect surgery, a plague-infested street, a witch trial and a haunted mansion (my favorite), among others. And don't say you weren't warned about the leeches.... A blast and a real memory for the family.

I loved the fact that the guide shared lots of stories with us—ones you can’t read on the signs—that are part of the city’s legends and history.

Edinburgh Castle rises above the city like a memory carved in stone—commanding, timeless, and quietly magnificent. Perched atop Castle Rock, its presence feels less like a monument and more like a living witness to centuries of Scottish history. Approaching it, you’re met not just with architecture, but with atmosphere: the wind carries stories, and every step along the esplanade feels deliberate, almost ceremonial. What makes the experience truly elegant is the balance between grandeur and intimacy. The sweeping views over Edinburgh are breathtaking, yet within the castle walls, there are moments of stillness—chapels, chambers, and quiet corners that invite reflection. The Crown Jewels glitter with restrained opulence, while the Stone of Destiny holds a deeper, almost spiritual significance. The castle does not overwhelm with excess; instead, it reveals itself gradually. Its aged stone, weathered yet dignified, speaks of resilience rather than decay. Even the famous One O’Clock Gun, with its sharp interruption of silence, feels like a poetic reminder of time’s passage rather than a mere spectacle. In essence, Edinburgh Castle is not simply a destination—it is an experience of presence. It captures the soul of Scotland with understated grace, leaving visitors not just impressed, but profoundly moved.

Loved the bus tour. So easy to use and the driver was very friendly and helpful. Also, the narrative is very interesting. However, some of the audio jacks did not function.

The Zoo was amazing and well kept. Lots of the animals were out and easily seen. The enclosures were well kept and the the keepers seemed to be attentive to the animals in their care. If you are expecting an easy stroll, much like the rest of Edinburgh, it will not be.
