A great tour, with plenty of stops—even short ones—to take in the scenic views. Alan was knowledgeable, professional, and very friendly! We also added the Loch Ness cruise and admission to Urquhart Castle, which were also really nice.

My tour guide Josh was very knowledgeable and kept a steady walking pace without overwhelming everyone. I especially enjoyed being sorted into houses and trying to answer the Harry Potter trivia along the way. 🙂

My family and I were really glad to learn so much about the history of Edinburgh, the history of Whisky and its links with religion. Further, our guide made it fascinating during the visit and the tasting.

Well done. Creepy in the right amount. Interesting information. The dungeons part was quite short (3 rooms), but still okay. Sometimes it was hard to understand her as a foreigner due to the scottish accent, but that's on us. Really nice guide (Helen), knowledgeable and funny, authentic. Gave us disclaimers before some very harsh topics and everything, really nice.

I really appreciated the Eurail pass, which makes me feel like I can travel by train across European borders at a reasonable price! However, I find it difficult to reserve seats on high-speed trains. The service should be more flexible.

Sunday -17 th May we had an amazing day at Edinburgh Zoo! The zoo is very clean, well organized, and the animals look well cared for. The staff were friendly and helpful, and there were lots of interesting areas to explore. We especially loved the penguins and the beautiful views across Edinburgh. A perfect place for families, couples, or anyone who loves animals. Highly recommend visiting!
