1.00Attention: we booked a guide for a town trip in French: the guide spoke only English, and the group included both English-speaking and French-speaking clients: we had to cancel the service: very disappointed with Viator. However, we were refunded. But we were unable to enjoy the expected service.
Can’t miss!

5.00We did the two-hour walking tour in the afternoon, and honestly, we could have kept going for another couple of hours! We love history and discovering the hidden stories and legends behind a city, and Kieran was the perfect guide for that. He shared lots of fascinating stories about Edinburgh and pointed out things we would never have noticed on our own. His sense of humor made the tour both entertaining and engaging, so we learned a lot while having some laughs along the way. As Outlander and Harry Potter fans, we also enjoyed hearing about Edinburgh's connections to both worlds, as well as learning about other movies and TV series that were inspired by the city. It made the tour even more interesting for us. We had a short time in Edinburgh, and this tour was the perfect way to get to know the city beyond simply walking around its beautiful streets. Edinburgh is such a beautiful and magical place, and you can really feel that atmosphere as you explore it. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city. Don't hesitate to book it—you won't regret it!

3.00Nice to get a city tour from a friendly guide but overall the level of information and history was marginal. Still say go ahead with the tour but we found our best tours through historical site docents who were passionate about the sites and also had depth and breadth of overall UK History.
Must to do

5.00Our guide Shanna was great - informative, funny, easy to understand, really knows what she’s doing and clearly enjoys doing it. In addition to being an excellent guide, she had very recently studied Scottish history at the graduate level and was very knowledgeable in answering follow-up questions!
Great Experience

5.00Guide Toni was extremely knowledgeable about the historical information presented and was enthusiastic about sharing that knowledge. In fact, perhaps a budding teacher of history? Took care to ask if everyone was following presented information/had questions or was able to navigate the varied walking surfaces and inclines. We enjoyed the castle and tour enhanced the experience greatly.
