Mike was a lovely, enthusiastic and most of all in every way authentic tour guide! His stories and the way he delivered them were captivating from start to finish. Glad we did the tour, it definitely was the cherry in the cake of our Edinburgh trip (okay, one of many cherries).
Ross was a fantastic host. Really sold the stories (I actually felt a little queasy to begin with!) after getting past the queasiness and hearing the ghost stories and more about the history of Edinburgh I loved it. Going to the Blair Street Vaults was a cool experience that I'm glad I went on!
Everything about the tour was great, the guide Steve was friendly and put everyone at ease, he was very informative and made the history come alive... I highly recommend this underground ghost tour ... well worth it
Aus ganzem Herzen geben wir (Freundinnen 26J,36J ) hier eine Positive Bewertung. Unser Guide ist ein Hervorragender Geschichtenerzähler der uns mit seinem Schauspielerischen Talent richtig in seinen Ban gezogen hat obwohl unsere Muttersprache kein Englisch ist. Wir sind begeistert.
J'ai vraiment apprécié cette balade dans le vieux Edimbourg, ses close et ses Voults. Une formidable conteuse : FAY nous a raconté des histoires de tortures, de meurtres et de fantômes avec une vraie conviction. La ballade fini dans une cave pour une dégustation de whisky. Je recommande.

A really enjoyable experience. Robbie the tour guide catered to all ages in a really friendly, enjoyable and knowledgeable manner. Really made my kids day.
Our guide Malek was excellent in storytelling. The quizz was funny and the point we've visited were interesting and a good choice
Benjamin is the best Potterian entertainer in Edinburgh 😍
Guide was very passionate. We enjoyed it very much.
We appreciate the guide's enthusiasm. Walking tour was perfect, we have possibility to see lot of inspiring places in which J.K. Rowling "worked" during writting HP. The guide was super funny and friendly. Thank you very much!
Sorting into different houses and lot of quizzing was fun. Overall a fun and entertaining session.
unfortunately I don't remember the name of the guide...but the guy was amazing...
The Tour guide was really nice! (04.01.25)
Everything was good! Exceptional Guide!
Even a fun activity for couples who likes Harry Potter too !!
The guide was great, but on the website it said that the tour was in English, French, German and so on. So I thought it would be in French, but I ended up following the guide in English. I wasn't able to get the most out of the tour because I didn't understand everything.
The tour was booked to 3 pm We arrived in the point (tron Kirk Market) at 2:40 pm We went inside and outside looking for the guide, until at 3:40 pm and the guide didn't appear. I called by phone, by WhatsApp, i sent email, and i haven't had answered so far. My tour didn't happen and this is disrespect with the costumers, in case my boyfriend and i. I hope my money that i payed will be refound.
The enthousiasm of our guide Monique was awesome. We just enjoyed every minute of this tour !! Strongly recommended.
Our guide was knowledgeable and humorous keeping both adults and children alike interested in his presentation.

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.
It was straight forward to exchange booking ref for actual ticket. Guide was awesome. Sonya knew her subject and got so many facts across in a way that was easy to listen to and funny. Speed of tour good too.
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!.
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!
We visited The Castle with Tommy. He's the bedt guide we've ever had.
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.

We had "Lafayette" as our guide and he was so funny and quick with his improvisation. He made the experience very immersive as he remembered people's names and places they were from. He kept the whole group intrigued from start to finish. The reason I'm giving 4 stars is because the tour is posted as being an underground tour when most of it takes place above ground through the city. Lafayette is amazing though ,still a very fun and memorable experience!
John kincade was brilliant and gruesome story teller totally made the experience well worth the tour his dress sence was good aswell 👍 couldn't fault him. Great place to go and the underground was brilliant. 😀
Top Performance, was every penny worth.
Very good, Maggie Davidson was the host very interactive, lots of history very funny and would recommend to others visiting Edinburgh
The gal that did our tour was very enthusiastic. She had a great personality for telling ghost stories. We really appreciated her attention to detail and her willingness to talk to the participants in between stops.
Tour guide was good! Wish there were more of the underground we could have seen, but I'd definitely recommend this tour.
Captain Grey was an absolutely brilliant guide with great and engaging conversations and insights Will definitely recommend
James was incredible, very humorous and kind. I loved this moment out of time and laughed a lot!
Tour guide Agnes Sampson! Very knowledgeable. Well organized.
We have seen heen undergound - well a shrill Dr. Knox with lame jokes that are fun for 10 minutes but after 50 minutes gave us the feeling of having booked the wrong tour. Because no underground tour !
This tour was so fun! It was awesome to be able to see and be told some of Scotland's history! Tour guide was great, very knowledgeable!
We really enjoyed our guide, Mary, Queen of Scots! It was a wonderful, just spooky enough tour, packed with knowledge you wouldn't normally get.
Great tour and our guide Soldier Jock was fantastic
We had some interesting facts about Edimburgh while making the tour. Really nice guide also.
