Visited with family, fantastic bit of history that would usually not be seen. Great to see the queens private quarters still being looked after by Haddington...

It was an interesting, informative and fun tour that gave us a general perspective of the city, the history and what we would find in the castle. It was fantastic we were able to get in the castle with these tickets as the official ones were ale ready sold out!

The tour guy was great. But I guess I had high expectations since vaults does not seem that much attractive to me. But anyways if you are into the history give it a try

Great tour guide, very funny and helpful. Amazing landscapes. The isle of Skye is absolutely stunning. We spent two nights in Portree, a small but lovely Village.

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.

It was fun learning about some of the history about Scotland and touring the vaults with Alex. It was interesting to learn about them and the dark history.

The tour was a mixture of historical facts and Legends and the guide was really effective in conveying the atmosphere of the various ages. The lady Who accompanied us was prepared on all questions and made us Discover really unusual places!

We’ve already been to the Dungeons in Amsterdam and Hamburg. In Edinburgh, too, both the set design and the acting are top-notch. BUT: if you’re not a native English speaker, you won’t understand a word here! By comparison: in Amsterdam we understood pretty much everything, but here it was a total disaster, which is a real shame since the audience is international. But as I said: the actors and everything else are, as usual, world-class.
