The tour was very average and not worth the money. The tour guide’s knowledge was highly superficial and not engaging. Granted, it was a bitterly cold day, but it was obvious that the guide just wanted to get the tour over and would as quickly as possible.
Amazing tour company and guide

John is knowledgeable, personable, witty, and very entertaining! His tour was the best one we’ve been on in Scotland. His knowledge of the castle in particular and Scotland in general is impressive! He also gave us plenty of suggestions for the remainder of our holiday. Book this tour! John will not disappoint!

We really enjoyed our tour with Charlotte. She is thorough and expressive with her explanation. We were lucky to have a group of four (small group is goooood) Best of all, we could understand her English accent (not with strong Scottish accent)!
