Edinburgh Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Me and my wife had a great experience viewing the Scottish Highlands, Glenfinnan Viaduct, Glencoe and of course riding the Jacobite Steam Train! It was even better with our tour guide Dusty, he gave such great historical insight and made everything light with dad jokes! 10/10 would go on another tour

Absolutely brilliant!! Frightened the bejesus out of me! Loved every second!

Dusty was great. Informative and entertaining

The most amazing spooky tour in Edinburgh!!! This photo was taken in the locked vaults, completely unedited….

Mark did a great job touring us around the Royal Mile and the castle with tons of history. Easy to understand & very knowledgeable.

Fantastic tour, worth every penny. Highly recommend. Dr. Rory was our guide, if you are lucky enough to have him as your guide, you will not be disappointed. He shared the city’s history in great detail but always in a fun, interesting and engaging way.

Alistair was funny and informative. Tour was great. Ending the tour with a 1:00 bang! Highly recommend this tour.

This was such a comprehensive tour of the breathtaking scenery and fascinating history of the Highlands. I booked this because a friend I met traveling had just gone, and I would recommend it as well! It took any logistic challenges out of planning a day trip. I loved when the driver played parts of movie soundtracks as we drove through their filming locations—it felt so immersive. And I learned so much about the people that lived there for centuries.

Guide made the tour winderful..He provided interesting historical facts as well as practical info for our visit.

Gavin was our guide for the Edinburgh Castle Tour. He was very knowledgeable and gave everyone tips on what to see when we explored the castle.

Allistar did a great job with the tour and was funny. It’s a beautiful place with amazing views. Make sure to be there for the 1pm cannon shot.

Such an amazing experience! Our tour guide John was so much fun and had extensive knowledge on the history of everywhere we went! Highly recommend!!

The trip was absolutely excellent covering all key scenic spots in the Scottish Highlands!! Our guide Chris was extremely informative about Scottish history and incredibly funny, making the experience one of a kind. Absolutely fantastic and would recommend for anyone seeking a highland excursion (and an amazing playlist for the road trip!).

Guide was very energetic and informative. Keeping the night fun and full of laughter. Ryan was happy to answer all questions that participants had. Ryan created a welcoming atmosphere from the meeting point until the end of the tour.

Fun time! Very informative and yummy!

Had a fantastic tour experience at Port of Leith Distillery! ​The pricing is very reasonable, and the length of the tour—around 90 minutes—was just right. It gave a comprehensive and fascinating look into their whisky-making process and history without feeling rushed. ​The atmosphere was wonderfully comfortable and welcoming, and the crowd size was nice and intimate, with just 7 of us plus the staff. This made the experience feel much more personal. The staff were extremely patient and explained everything in a relaxed, engaging, and friendly manner. ​Whether you're a whisky enthusiast or just curious, this tour is definitely worth doing. Highly recommended if you're in the Leith area!
