Book Edinburgh Castle Tickets

Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Providwd enough time at each stop to allow us to rest as it was very hot during our visit.

Getting to our start point and picking up the castle entrance ticket was a little confusing. However our tour guide Valleria was excellent. Very knowledgeable, could answer all our questions. Made recommendations for our extended walk around the castle. A great experience overall.

All went great! We loved our guide "Aussie" David. He was chock full of great stories and history and also thoughtful about keeping us warm and out of the wind!.

It was a truly memorable visit. The place transports you back to ancient times, where kings once lived and rulers rose and fell. The castle stands as a monumental testament to the rich cultural and human heritage of Scotland—its enduring presence a living record of the nation’s history. Many came to know it through the film Braveheart, which stirred the hearts of viewers around the world and fostered deep admiration and sympathy for the Scottish people, inspired by the legendary freedom fighter William Wallace. A heartfelt thank you goes to our guide, whose wealth of knowledge enriched our understanding of this beautiful country and its remarkable past.

Today we visited the impressive Edinburgh Castle with guide Sara. Thanks to her enthusiasm, humor and knowledge, the rich history of the castle really came alive. She told fascinating stories about the crown jewels, old battles and hidden stories behind the thick walls. Especially her anecdotes made the tour unique and unforgettable. Highly recommended!

No issue at all, or minor actually. Exactly what I expected from an average guided visit. Nothing wrong, nothing remarkable. That's why I rate 3, average

Buying the ticket was so easy, meeting points etc.. was co clear, our guide was excellent ; you could see that he loves what he does, Ofcourse the castle ,nothing to say about it

The Edinburgh Castle was by far one of my favorite activities in Edinburgh, lots of info and museums, plenty to do and see, the views are unique, and the recreations are pretty immersive.

David(from Australia) was knowledgable, informative and kept us engaged on the tour! i would highly reccomend using them!

Very easy to find the spot, guide (Nick) super friendly and prepared. The tour was very interesting and rich in secret historical insights. Recommended!

We had the best experience with Sonia, our Edinburgh Castle guide! The tour was well organized and Sonia was well informed, personable, and funny. It was a highlight of our Edinburgh trip and we highly recommend it!

Edinburgh Castle is most impressive, but it was so busy that we immediately left once the guide had completed the tour. It was difficult to hear her because of the background noise of other visitors around the castle and she also talked so fast.

We thought the tour was superb, thanks to our guide Raj who was very well informed, lucid and humorous. I have no hesitation in recommending the tour to anyone.

The tour was pretty shambolic at first. We were in the first group and the girl told us to wait across the road. She then disappeared. Seven of us joined the second group with Ross. He rescued the situation and was a very good D guide - informative, interesting and entertaining.. would have been excellent except the shambolic start.

The guide knew more than enough about the history and residents of the castle. Occasionally it became long-winded when talking about the family connections. Furthermore, the environment is very noisy and the group too large so you cannot understand the guide. Otherwise, the castle is breathtakingly beautiful and restored. After the tour you can visit the various rooms in buildings on your own.

The castle view was spectacular and it was our guide, Jen, who made this experience even more memorable. Jen's story made me feel the medieval Scottish vibes and become a part of the castle's history. Absolutely enjoyed it and would highly recommend. Thanks for your effort and passion Jen!

Quick, all instructions were clear. At the meeting point we had a quick check in with our guide and the visit at the castle was FAB!

We loved our experience!!! Two years ago we were in Edinburgh, but unfortunately we couldn't visit the Castle. This time we bought tickets in advance to ensure the visit. Scotland is a country with a history that I love, so visiting it is already a pleasure!! The visit to the Castle was a dream come true, the group we joined was good and friendly!! Our guide was excellent, super knowledgeable about the facts and history!!! Thank you so much Angeles 'la sevillana'!!! Kisses

Excellent guide and gentlemen made sure he could adapt to all persons pace in the group

Our guide, Sonya, was terrific! Made the whole experience so much fun!

Joe did a great job taking us through the castle and history. We loved the entire experience.

Our guide was very enthusiastic, personable, and knowledgeable about the castle and its history.

I loved the gui, she explained very well and you can see she has a lot of knowledge.

We had a great tour - Angus was friendly and very knowledgeable.

The guiding was very informative and effective and the guide, Sonja, was awsome.

Very helpful staff, bus drivers gave great information and we're cheery

Wonderful to see all the highlights of Edinburgh in two days.

New clean double Decker buses. Great audio tour in many languages. Nice drivers. Easy on easy off. Frequency good too. Attraction tickets all worked out well. Highly recommend!

It was the best palace visit I have experienced so far. With the clear audio guide and directions, it was fascinating as well as informative. Luckily it was a nice sunny day with a good crowd.

It was so convient! and we loved riding on the top of the bus. The commentary along the way was a great way to learn about Edinburgh.

It was great to be able to get into the important historical attractions with the bus tour. We had so little time, it made it possible. Highly recommend!

The rooms of the palace are very beautiful, full of charm and history, and the palace is surrounded by a beautiful park. What made the visit even more enjoyable was definitely the audio guide that meticulously illustrates everything and was impisted in a didactic manner that was easily understood and never boring or pedantic. Truly a fabulous experience not to be missed in Edinburgh.

All well and good but since King Charles 😡😡😡😡was in the residence...we paid but could not get in and since the ticket was cumulative of 2 other things part of the refund....it skipped cavalry. Do the ticket there so you can be sure you paid the right amount

The 48hr ticket was great value - also including entry to Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of Holyrood House and the Royal Yacht Brittania.

Easy to book, helpful staff and great to be able to get tickets to to the three Royal attractions. Bus commentary was good and being available in Chinese was great for my wife. Recommend the full package.

Hello, the system with the buses and great. As I travel with a crutch and find it difficult to walk long distances, we took a cab to Waterloo Place to activate the 48-hour ticket. We had a room at the Grasmarket. There was also a hop on, hop off bus stop there. It would have been nice to be able to hop on anywhere to activate the ticket! I think another passenger did that too! If that were possible, it would at least be easier for people with walking disabilities! So long Bea and Marie

Really helped get around the city and see all of the sites. Drivers were friendly and helpful

Excellent routes and wonderful way to explore Edinburgh within a limited amount of time, with kids.

Lovely people. Included ticket to important places

The staff are amazing! They are the reflections of a true scott.

Self paced audio guides, stunningly beautiful grounds and palace, and delicious soup at cafe!

This was a great experience and great price. I am really glad I found it online.

The buses were so frequent, we never had to wait long. Great Commentary, especially with the live guides.

I recommend this app everything was perfect

Everything good hip on hip off was the best

Easy to get to. Stops well signposted. The royal tour was perfect with all three visits included.

Beautiful Castle. They also provide audio tour if you need

It was easy to book in advance through the app. No lines secured entry. Top !!!

Magnificent view from the castle 🏰 Very interesting museum inside

Simple, fast and without any problem. The Castle is fantastic. Thank you so much.

Clear and concise information about the history of the castle and the city of Edinburgh.

Very easy booking. Exzeptionell friendly staff at Edinburgh Castle.

Great!! Family trip and everyone enjoyed the gun shot at 1pm and all the historic history

I loved seeing the Scottish home of the royal family and was grateful to hear the audio in Portuguese. Delighted with the conservation of the rooms and gardens. Good to know that we were able to witness the existence of this place and see how everything is so well preserved and protected.

Unfortunately, buying the ticket was not as I had imagined. I thought I would get a barcode and that would be the entrance fee. That wasn't the case and I still had to queue at the ticket office.

Very helpful staff, bus drivers gave great information and we're cheery

Wonderful to see all the highlights of Edinburgh in two days.

Everything was spectacular, the ambiance, the palace, the gardens!

When I presented my receipt at the lodge they handed me the tickets without further ado. And I did not have to wait. However, the description on the app was not very precise. After having read on TripAdvisor that Headout is a scam I was therefore was a bit worried. Luckily for no reason it turned out.

New clean double Decker buses. Great audio tour in many languages. Nice drivers. Easy on easy off. Frequency good too. Attraction tickets all worked out well. Highly recommend!

I certainly loved this wonderful palace - repräsentative but also not too huge. It was nevertheless impressive and most important the ruins and the garden are an incredibly beautiful ensemble.

It was the best palace visit I have experienced so far. With the clear audio guide and directions, it was fascinating as well as informative. Luckily it was a nice sunny day with a good crowd.

Booking tickets allowed me to get in quickly. The audio guide was excellent in terms of functionality and completeness of information. The estimated duration in the poster was two hours, but I pleasantly stayed for over two and a half hours. John

It was great to be able to get into the important historical attractions with the bus tour. We had so little time, it made it possible. Highly recommend!

Good afternoon visiting the palace. Well organized tour of its facilities. The staff is very professional and friendly. The Abbey and the gardens are very beautiful. Everything is very careful. It's worth it.

Good weather ,grounds well kept, good value with plenty to see in the house. Very smart clean and tidy tea room a quiet space to sit and reflect.

We loved visiting the Palace of Holyroodhouse; the splendor of its apartments, the gardens, the remains of the abbey and the history of the Stuarts ...

The rooms of the palace are very beautiful, full of charm and history, and the palace is surrounded by a beautiful park. What made the visit even more enjoyable was definitely the audio guide that meticulously illustrates everything and was impisted in a didactic manner that was easily understood and never boring or pedantic. Truly a fabulous experience not to be missed in Edinburgh.

The tour was excellent but I couldn't print the tickets because the page wouldn't open. I had to go to the ticket office to print the tickets

The audio tour being included was very helpful. I was disappointed that there were no pictures inside. Maybe you could open in certain rooms. The pictures I would have wanted to take were not in the brochure/small book you could purchase instead.

Amazing experience! Everyone was helpful, considerate, and friendly. Wonderful atmosphere. Can't miss experiencing this palace.

The entry mainly went smoothly, although I still had to provide the ticket clerk with my email address, in addition to the tickets I had booked. The palace was beautiful, and the audio guide was very informative.

Lovely visit! The self-guided tour with headset that's included with the ticket purchase was a perfect way to spend a couple of rainy hours on my last day in Edinburgh. If you're a fan of the royals, I'd highly recommend!🇬🇧

All well and good but since King Charles 😡😡😡😡was in the residence...we paid but could not get in and since the ticket was cumulative of 2 other things part of the refund....it skipped cavalry. Do the ticket there so you can be sure you paid the right amount

Easy to book online. Printed tickets on arrival which we got to keep as a souvenir. Audio guides very good and free of charge

Straight forward ticket collection. Visit to Palace was excellent as was the audio guide, not only telling us about each individual item but some very interesting and sometimes funny antedotes. All in all a very good experience

The 48hr ticket was great value - also including entry to Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of Holyrood House and the Royal Yacht Brittania.

Very interesting experience despite my level of English...very friendly guide.

We had a great guide in Benjamin. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining while walking us around Edinburgh to the spots that inspired the Harry Potter books. Highly recommend this tour to any fan of the books.
