Joe was a great guide. He had a really interesting story to tell about the castle and good insights for the highlights to see if we were limited in time. He also recommended a good pub for a meal. We took his advice and he was right. He was entertaining and informative and we got a lot out of the visit because of that.

Visite très interessante et divertissante menée par la charmante Catherine. Tout se passe à l'extérieur des murs. Il faut donc compter du temps supplémentaire pour visiter les différents musées du château après la visite guidée.

Mark was an excellent guide for our tour. As a historian he had a wonderful ability to inform on facts, figures and dates with incredible clarity. He was very knowledgeable and engaging with our group which made it very enjoyable as well as engaging. Thank you Mark. Edinburgh itself is an absolute gem and the tour could easily have lasted the whole day. So much to see.
