Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    This underground experience offers a more sinister and darker truth of the history underneath Edinburgh than most other tours. It’s a great contrast between the more pleasant and charismatic experiences one might have here. Highly recommended to give variety in your itinerary!

    Helen D. was very informative & knowledgeable about the ghost tour. Very animated. Brought laughter at times when it was needed. It was a short tour but we learned so much information in that time. She answered all the questions we had & explained even more. Thank you so much for this experience!

    Visited some prime Harry Potter spots and learned lots about how Edinburgh helped JK Rowling be inspired to write share Potter books. The guide played a little game and we all got our own hogwarts houses as well as questions throughout the tour so we could compete with one another. Tour guide was Kieran and he was very charismatic and full of fun!

    Carlos was fun and knowledgable and really looked (and sounded!) the part of being a Scottish Tour guide! It's fun because at each location you mix and match who sits where so you get to know the whole group as you go a long. I would HIGHLY recommend!!! You do not want to miss this tour!!!

    Loved this tour! Alasdair knew everything and had such a lovely way about him. The tour was so interesting and I loved the way Alasdair told all his favourite stories. We were all captivated and the craic was really good amongst the group. Couldn’t recommend more.

    Charming Stuart was our guide yesterday. It was raining and quite chilly, but it didn't matter. He made it very interesting with his knowledge of history joined with stories and also with quite a personal history of his own. You'll be very happy if you do this tour.

    Alasdair was a *wonderful* host and guide. He is knowledgeable, witty and entertaining, and brought the castle to life with his stories and observations.

    Benjamin is a knowledgeable and entertaining guide, obviously proud of his Scottish heritage. We especially loved the Robbie Burns poem.

    Had a lot of fun here. Dani was a lovely tour guide and the tour itself was very informative regarding the creation of Scottish whiskey. Would recommend even if you aren’t a big whiskey fan, like my fiancée.

    Niamh was a wonderful guide and was extremely knowledgeable about Edinburgh and Scottish history. She was very personable and showed us not only the sights, but gave us tips on where to best experience Edinburgh's food and whiskey.
