What travellers are saying
- LINDSEY D2 contributionsRachel was very enthusiastic with her tour and her description of what has gone on in the vaults. It was a one hour tour which flew past with all Rachel’s stories.Written February 11, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NyotakilahMqabba, Malta57 contributionsFun experience with this amazing and lovely crew and everyone loved it.

- Nick HScotland4 contributionsAwesome experience. Learnt so much about Edinburgh. Our guide maggie Dickson was amazing!

- Chris LBournemouth, UK124 contributionsFun, entertaining hour, well presented and good humour. Guide was excellent and created a great atmosphere.

- K L122 contributionsMeeting point easy to find.
Coach was very comfortable. The driver Phil was just brilliant - funny, informative, stories on route were interesting and told well. And the added surprise, he could also sing & dance! :)
We drove past the kelpies & many other great sites that Phil pointed out.
The stops were fabulous & just kept getting better, 3 sisters, Glenfinnan & Loch Shiel were my favourites.
Lovely small company & you can tell because the service is that bit more special.
Honestly couldn’t recommend this trip enough. Phil made this trip so much better too!Written February 11, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Kristal RelativoAbu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates24 contributionsBen (Benjamin) was amazing! He was very informative, giving history about Scotland and its origins. When there's places that had history, he explained it ahead of time. He was also playing scottish song while driving to match the vibe while we were enjoying the view. He has good humor too! Great driver and tour guide 👌! Very respecful and he give us time as much as possible to enjoy the tour.
If it wasn't for Benjamin, I'll give it a 3star. As a Quality and Customer Service personnel I would say, it is important that operator is organised in terms of prior, during, and after service. The bus was delayed, call time is 7:30 am and it arrived 7:55am - no advice from the tour operator aside from the other driver who told us that Benjamin is stuck in traffic and will arrive in 2 min that turned in 25min considering we were there 15 min before call time so basically we were waiting for more than 30min. The weather is -3°C and uncovered area. Second concern, it is the operator responsibility to mention in their website that the travel may cause motion sickness due to curvy roads so tourists can prepare in advance. Yes it is supposed to be expected but it wouldn't hurt anyone if the information is avaliable so there will be no complaints coz you've done your part. There were 3 people and 1 that I am aware of puking inside the bus. It could have been prevented if she was able to take the meds prior. Also, it made the trip unpleasant inside the bus for me since I can smell the puke. (Just giving this honest review for area of improvement).
The bus has comfortable seat, there is plug in outlets for your chargers since you will spend most of your time in bus. No cup holder. The seat can be reclined.
The view was of course amazing! The weather was perfect! It was a sunny Friday 🌞 although it's still freezing cold. The tour guide/driver - Benjamin was excellent!
Whisky ice cream, as well as fish&chips, is a must try đź’Ż

- Grace C2 contributionsAn absolutely amazing day trip, led by the most fantastic guide. He was clearly passionate about the locations, and kept up a historical commentary that made me view the Highlands in a new light!
We did this trip on day 3 of our Edinburgh holiday, which was a great idea as we were knackered after the first two days, and it was a welcome rest while filling the day perfectly. I would recommend this to anyone taking a trip to Edinburgh who wants to see the most scenic, beautiful parts of the Scottish country at the same time.Written February 3, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- dfj72Burbank, CA15 contributionsNiamh was an amazing tour guide, and we absolutely loved this tour. We did it just after arriving in town, and beyond learning about the mysteries and murders (and witches) from Edinburgh's past, we also saw quite a bit of the city. It was a great way to begin our trip!Written February 10, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- 256leannejCowdenbeath12 contributionsWe booked the tour as part of a birthday celebration and we weren't disappointed. The tour was very informative with lots of opportunities to sample chocolate that perhaps we wouldn't have tried before. I'm not usually a fan of dark chocolate but some of the samples we tried were lovely so it opened our eyes to what to look for when choosing chocolate. Making our own bars was also great fun! The hot chocolate at the start of the tour was delicious.
Well worth a visit. We'd definitely bring our kids along at some point for a treat next time.Written February 9, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Archie for president: we loved him, great tour guide.
