We had an amazing time. Countryside was absolutely beautiful architectural designs were incredible. Our only regret was we were only there for one day Could easily spend weeks there. Highly recommend if in Europe to visit Edinburgh.

We spent most of our time at the castle. It was beautiful there. However, the tour was interesting and informative.

A very manageable roundtrip to Edinburgh from London. Lots of walking. Audio of tour on bus could be better and also sometimes timing of the place and description is off.

The tour was interesting and entertaining. The trouble was that the audio guide was not in sync with our location. However it was interesting to visit Edinburgh castle

Even though most of the castle was closed due to a “police incident “, what little we saw was wonderful! The entire city of Edinburgh is gorgeous even in the rain! Also Viator returned part of the entry fee without being asked due to the incident. Viator has always been the best!

On Saturday October 21st, I was scheduled to take a first class train w/reserved seat to Edinburgh. Once in Edinburgh I was to have a ticket on a hop on/hop off bus, then an entry ticket to Edinburgh Castle. Storm Bebet was pounding Edinburgh. The train I was supposed to be on was overbooked. I had a reserved seat, but someone else was sitting in it. They also had a ticket for the same train, same seat. Cancelled trains caused them to overbook. Edinburgh Castle was closed that day and I don't know what was up with the Hop on Hop off Bus. So, I couldn't get transportation to Edinburgh due to "Fear of Death" travel warnings. Edinburgh Castle was closed. Viator is refusing to refund my money.

It was a great experience and easy to get around with all of the tickets and instructions. My only complaint is that 5.5 hours is not enough time to spend in the beautiful city of Edinburgh

We really enjoyed this tour. There is a lot to see in Edinburgh in just one day, but we were able to see everything we wanted to. There was good communication with the tour company. The only issue we had was with the vouchers that we were provided with. We would arrive at a venue and provide them with the vouchers, only to find out that they needed to be printed before being used. Since we didn’t get the links for the vouchers until we were on our trip, we were unable to print anything before going. Everything worked out though the way that it should have. Would definitely recommend!

Some of the most memorable locations we found within Edinburgh were obviously the castle, St. Giles, and hiking Arthur’s Seat.
