If we could give Sonia 6 stars, we would! What an incredible tour guide. Easy to understand, volume was perfect and her knowledge of castle lore unparalleled. We were entertained and educated the entire time. If you want the best experience, ask for her by name. She was such a treat and we will recommend her to our friends who travel to Edinburgh. Thank you Sonia!!
Amazing! Steep walk up- if you’re bringing older people definitely get a wheelchair! Magnificent views.
John is a terrific guide. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic and entertaining. And a nice guy. We would take a tour with him any time.
I booked this tour for our first full day in Edinburgh and came away very pleased with the experience. The history of the castle is foundational to the city, so the tour served to give context for our stay in Edinburgh. John was well-organized, welcoming, and early to arrive at the meeting point to greet attendees. He is definitely knowledgeable and a compelling storyteller. He made sure to connect with the interests of each person in our group. Without a guide, I think it would be difficult to grasp the significance of the castle and its layered history.
Our guide John was knowledgeable, entertaining and cognizant of everyone in the group. We learned a great deal about the castle, its history and its architecture.
Host was great, knowledgeable and funny
John was an awesome tour guide, his animation and knowledge made the tour amazing! I would recommend this tour!
If you're researching Edinburgh Castle tours while planning your trip to Scotland, stop looking. This is the tour you want to book. My family did the tour with John yesterday, and it was one of the highlights of our vacation. We've done quite a few tours throughout London and Scotland, and his was easily the best. I'll be honest, I'm usually not the biggest history buff. On most tours, I'm the person quietly drifting to the back of the group, counting leaves on the trees and wondering how much longer is left. But John completely changed that. He has a rare gift for bringing history to life. His storytelling was engaging, funny, and full of personality. He mixed in humor at just the right moments and included fascinating niche stories that made the castle and its history feel real instead of just a list of dates and names. I never thought I would find myself wishing a history tour would last longer, but by the end of John's tour, I genuinely did. John would make an outstanding history teacher because he has a way of making people genuinely care about the stories he's telling. I wish every tour guide was like him. If you're visiting Edinburgh Castle, do yourself a favor and book a tour with John. You'll leave entertained, informed, and probably knowing a lot more about Scottish history than you expected.
Our guide was lovely but her English was not fantastic and she kept repeating herself. We booked a 2 hour tour but the tour finished in 90 minutes. We spent a solid 30+ minutes of the experience outside the castle walls which was interesting but given the abbreviated tour itself, it means we had even less time in the castle.
Our guide John was very pleasant, extremely knowledgeable, a kept a good pace. Would definitely see about using his services again to explore other areas in Scotland.
