Scotland · EDINBURGH TOURS
Edinburgh is one downhill mile with a castle at the top and a warren underneath it. These 15 cover the slope properly — what is worth a guide, what is worth a ticket, and what you should just walk.
Edinburgh’s Underground Ghost Tour takes you from the Royal Mile to Greyfriars Kirkyard and down into 400-year-old vaults in 75 minutes.
“Dr. Robert Knox, our tour guide was fantastic!! Be prepared to be included in the tour, as he plays off of guests and improvises throughout. I highly recommend the experience, and going in with a fun outlook definitely makes the whole thing even more enjoyable.”
Step into Edinburgh’s underground vaults under South Bridge on a guided 1-hour walk, mixing grim 18th-century stories with spooky sights.
“This is well worth it!! Fascinating history and incredible story telling! I would do this again and have recommended it to several people since”

Edinburgh to Loch Ness and the Scottish Highlands in a small group, with a Loch Ness cruise, Glencoe stops, and a Nessie sonar search.
“Jim was our tour guide and we couldn’t have been any luckier. He was so informative and funny. I learned so much from his tour and we got to see the most beautiful sites.”
Guided walking tour of Edinburgh Castle with pre-booked entry. Learn Mary Queen of Scots and Great Hall stories, then explore at your pace.
“It was our first time visiting Edinburgh castle and thanks to our tour guide Joe, we had a wonderful day! We got all the facts in and even had time for a joke. Would definitely recommend to friends that are coming to visit.”
Skip the queue at Edinburgh Castle, walk the Royal Mile with a guide, then explore on your own after a 90-minute story-driven tour.
“This was a great 90 minutes with Koffe as our guide! He was an amazing storyteller AND knew all the history and facts! He truly made the experience awesome. It is important to know that you have 90 minutes with the guide and then you can explore wherever you want for as long as you want once the tour is done. It was a great value for the money and Koffe truly helped us understand the important history of the castle along with some fun extra facts too like statues with glorious mustaches. We go on many tours and I would highly recommend this one!!”
12-hour Highlands tour from Edinburgh to Glencoe, Fort William, Glenfinnan Viaduct, and a seasonal Jacobite Train crossing view.
“Keith is an amazing guide and driver, who is also very funny and quite knowledgeable about the history of Scotland. I really enjoyed how he incorporated stories told to him by his grandfather into tour. He made the 12+ hour tour entertaining and fun, especially for someone like me who loves to learn about history. It was an amazing tour. History with an extra helping of Harry Potter, my favorite pastime, and Glenfinnan Viaduct along with the Jacobite Steam train. Amazing experience!!”
