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.

    We really enjoyed this interesting tour around Edinburgh, our tour guide James was very informative and an interesting speaker. There were plenty of buses available and I would recommend them.

    Great walking tour of Edinburgh at night. Went to places you would not go alone and heard some tales you would not want to hear in the dark alone. Our tour guide Niamh was fabulous and recalled the history of Edinburgh for us with interest and drama. The many facets of her knowledge and enthusiasm were compelling and frightening whilst she remained compassionate to the needs and friendship the group needed whilst in a cold dark windy Edinburgh at night. Whoa ha ha ha!!!

    James was amazing. He was high energy and informative. The tour visits Greyfriar graveyard and a private vault area that was great. Great value for the money and it ended in a fun area with lots of bars that were good to close the night!!!

    My daughter and I had the pleasure of having Alison as our tour guide. She loves history and it shows. Her story telling and in-depth knowledge of Scottish history was amazing. It made school stop come to life. I would recommend this tour.

    Very spooky. Capt. Gray was very entertaining and knowledgeable. The cemetery was a totally different place at night and the underground vault was was eerily unique. I swear I felt the wall move.

    Colin was an outstanding guide. It was like walking through town with a friend. We were able to customize our itinerary and keep the pace we wanted. I'd highly recommend Colin to anyone wanting a pleasant stroll through Edinburgh.

    My wife and I had a terrific 4 hour tour of Edinburgh in a black cab with Saf as our driver and guide. The benefit of being in a cab was that parking and stopping was allowed in many areas and Saf really knew his way around. As a guide Saf was very knowledgeable and well informed, with his passion for Edinburgh he brought the city to life for us and showed us many interesting sites and different aspects of the city. Would highly recommend using Saf and Love Scotland and Edinburgh tours.

    This was a great informative tour! Only takes around an hour if you don't get off the bus. Visits all the main tourists attractions and you can hop on and off as you please. Complete with headphones for a running commentary.
