A nice tour, competent and friendly guide - The tour gives a nice overview of Edinburgh and its history, it's worth doing. Three hours seems like a long time but it goes by very quickly.

Book this visit now! - Clara, our Italian guide was very good. Very comprehensive but without boring. I 101% recommend this tour to better understand the history of the city while visiting it. You can't truly get to know Edinburgh without Clara's guidance

Wonderful weekend in their company! - We took 2 tours together with the guide Ayrton who accompanied us first around the city and then on a splendid tour of the castle.
Simply fantastic. The tour, the experience and the vision of the splendid monuments were interesting.
With Scotlandtour.com it is easier to appreciate the beauty of a foreign city!
Thank you for your service!

Very interesting experience - We took this tour on the last day of our Edinburgh holiday. We thought we knew the old city well enough, but with Ayrton we discovered hidden corners and interesting legends. With him it is impossible for history to be boring. He's a person
prepared, kind, friendly and very
available. Thanks Scotland Tour and thanks Ayrton.

Lack of experience - I took the tour on July 5th, unfortunately coinciding with the coronation ceremony of King Charles. The organization is good, and our guide, Ayrton was splendid. Unfortunately, however, due to the concurrent event it was not possible for us to follow the planned route. The organization should have made us choose between a refund or a postponement to a later date. In short, from what we saw, a more than good tour, exceptional guide, 5 stars, organization... no
