Charlotte was an excellent guide with wonderful stories of the history of thr city and the castle. Well paced tour and exceeded my own expectations by far. Our first tour during our visit to Edinburgh and a fantastic taste to get us started. Thanks Charlotte. Highly recommended.
Great tour of Edinburgh Castle. You will learn a lot about the history of the castle and the different stories of how it was built and the people who were there at different points in time. John is a friendly and humorous guide who was good at engaging the group and keeping everyone together. He is also willing to answer questions and overall made the tour really enjoyable!
The Edinburgh tour with John was amazing. He was very well prepared and ensure that the tour group is well taken care of and we all are comfortable for the tour. He was very knowledgeable and made the sharing really interesting. I will definitely recommend him to anyone planning a guided tour of Edinburgh Castle.
Our tour guide John has sent email to advise us to wear warm clothing and proper footwear for the castle tour and this helps to be prepared for the windy and cold day during the tour. The tour went on smooth and we learnt more about the castle after the tour.
