Traveler reviews
A great tour
A great experience, and Joe is a wonderful guide. Very well done, all around.
Fabulous
Raj was our guide and he qas fantastic! Beautiful storytelling! Highly recommend!
Do this on your own
Our guide talked fast which was ok in the beginning. However once we reached the castle it was impossible to hear what she was saying with all the background noise from others and the blowing wind. By the time we gave up on the tour at least half had already abandoned the tour. We did not go to Holyrood. It was not previously known that we would be required to walk to the palace.
Very good
