Highly recommend. If…read moreyou are a Scotch/Whiskey enjoyer, you definitely should check this tour out. Recently me and my friends went and luckily because we rented an air bnb close by, we were able to walk to it. But just fyi when we went, the street that it is on was closed off for the public to walk. So just keep that in mind when thinking about parking. Highlights of the tour were some of the art and presentations they have on the history and making of Scotch. I also really enjoyed how they gave you a sheet that shows examples of some common tasting notes you can expect from each region. I learned that Islay Whiskey was my favorite region to sip from just because of how smoky their Whiskey can be. I had a great time. After the tour they give you an example of each region so you can compare and contrast. On top of everything, the people working there were very enthusiastic and friendly. If we ever came back to Edinburgh I might even want to go again just because of the fun experience.

Great experience learning about Scotch. We had a great guide and got to taste some good whiskey.read more

From the moment I walked into their storefront to inquire about the tour options... I met with Robin and felt right at home. She mentioned that this was a newer tour that Robert researched and put together in 2020. It was rich in history, unique stories, and we had the ability to ask questions along the way (while exploring Greyfriars Kirkyard). If you are looking for a tour that gives you a genuine feel for the souls that have been laid to rest in Greyfriars, this is it.

One person did the tour as one character and the other came in as a character and surprised us coming in as different characters every so often. This was about the tour guides being fun and the story told around different streets. If you are wanting serious ghostly locations and happenings this maybe is not for you. It may also good for older children. We had good fun and for £10 per person was good value.

I got to take part in the circular Edinburgh tour as a part of a wellness class I'm taking, and it…read morewas an amazing experience. Our group leader, Richard, was very friendly, made sure we were all enjoying ourselves, and had lots of historical information to provide as well at each of our stops! As for the physical aspect of it, it is a long ride, but we had enough stops to where I never felt exhausted or that it was ever too much. There was only one uphill section toward the end that definitely worked my calves, but nothing unmanageable. I'm in pretty decent shape which I'm sure helped, but many of my friends who aren't into fitness used the e-bikes and had a splendid time. The areas we rode through were so peaceful and beautiful that I wasn't even paying attention to the time. Overall, if you're looking for a bit of exercise, some beautiful sights that you probably won't see on other tours, and good company, I would highly recommend A wee Pedal!!

Advertised as *the original* Edinburgh Literary Pub Tour, this tour is quite lovely; could perhaps…read morebe even classified as immersive theater. Two professional actors play a bohemian and an academic, arguing over the literary history of Edinburgh, with dramatic recitations of Scottish poetry and roleplaying Scottish authors along the way. It's quite funny and entertaining. Through this, you get an education in Edinburgh's literary history while walking around town and drinking at pubs. It's a pretty easy pace and plenty reasonably long stops for drinking and using the toilet. Drinks are not included in the price of the tour. Meet up spot is at the Beehive Inn in Grassmarket, and you can book on their website for a small discount or pay when you get there. Tour starts in the evenings. Bathrooms: Plenty of them along the tour! Clean and functional, all of them!

The trip to Orkney and Skara Brae was a life changing experience. Our group was the first time that…read morethe Inverness office had conducted the tour (it used to solely come from Edinburgh) and we were blessed to get to know Sir Duff (Fraser Duff, lead guide) as well as guides Harrison, Emma & Sonia. The accommodations in Kirkwall were an enchanting B&B Karawa (proprietor was Fiona) and we had cooked to order breakfast. I loved having our own en suite. There was plenty of variety in our tour stops - history and art and birds / scenery / the "hairy coo" etc. The tour bus was clean and modern. The trip delightful. We did two different tours with Highland Explorers / Haggis Adventures / Radical Travel.

I came away with a deep respect for those who sacrificed so much for their homeland (and glad we started our UK trip in England first (lol). I highly recommend Harrison and this tour. I guess my only other feedback would be to shorten the Whiskey stop (i dont drink) and double the time at Clava Carin stones, where I got 'high' feeling the energy emitting from ancient stones and trees. My quest to feel the places where people honored the earth...was fulfilled there. Thank you Harrison!

This week I book a private tour to the Highlands, Loch Ness, Fort William to show my sister how beautiful Scotland is. Our driver/guide Arina picked us up from the hotel in Edinburgh and for the next 12 hours kept us entertained with historical facts, beautiful sceneries, nice music. Then a couple of days later, we took another tour and this time Mike was our guide. We visited the Dunfermline Abbey, Sterling Castle and Rosslyn Chapel. Also this one was an incredible tour full of stories, information and history. I can't wait to be back in Scotland to see more and book another tour with Highland Experience.

My fiance and I did the Edinburgh afternoon tea with gin tour. To start this review. I lived in…read moreEdinburgh for 4 years and I've done almost every other tour up until this point. This was probably my favorite of them all. It's by far the best value for a tour I've ever experienced. The afternoon tea spread is nearly a full meal. The gin cocktail was very well crafted and came with fresh mint that really made it pop. The food was all freshly made including in warm scone! If gin is not your thing. They have tea and coffee and other drinks like beer that you can buy while enjoying your tour. The tour itself, brings you across the city to some locations not commonly visited in most city tours like like The Meadows, parliament, and Holyrood Palace. There's a fantastic music playlist playing throughout the tour and narrated commentary about the sites that you pass while I'm bored the fully renovated 1970s double-decker city bus. The staff is incredibly professional, very knowledgeable about the history of the city, and also very nice and funny. I could not suggest this tour enough. I would also imagine that their Glasgow course must be of the same impeccable caliber. The next time we're in Edinburgh we're going to do the whiskey tour which we are very excited for!

I want to give a five star but the exterior of the bus was a little daunting as what our experience…read morewas going to be, that being said it was an outstanding experience. We sat on the top of the bus and I had let them know that we were celebrating a 60th birthday. The staff went out of their way with banners, ballon's and extra champagne for us.

I was taking a diabetic medicine that was causing some bathroom issues and she did an emergency stop for me and I am so grateful. I highly recommend tours to see Uk as driving on the other side of the road and a million turn about circles is terrifying so let the professionals take that stress from you. Plus they know where the cool stuff is and when to go. Our other tours in other countries the driver and guide were separate, so she gets bonus points for doing it all and to perfection. the roads are so narrow and scary but she did great. this was first time using this company but left willing to take other tours with Rabbies. She didn't say anything about tips which most do .. but bring tip money and reward exceptional service. We went on the trip with another couple and made some lovely memories. Loved going with friends even made it more special but in other trips we ended up making friends for life so either way is great. We did a stop near an ancient Village I think Vikings anyway there were some shops there where my friend bought a purse and I kicked myself for not going in there and getting one too. I thought the purse prices would be better in Edinburgh they were made with the local Fabric and real leather. When we got to Edinburgh the purses were not as well made and they were more expensive and a lot of them weren't even with real leather or made locally. The Edinburgh purse is a lot of them they use the fabric woven there but they made them out of the country probably China or India. Anyway I that is my biggest regret of the trip that I didn't buy an Islander purse. Now I'm going to have to see if I can buy one online and it'll be a lot more money. So if you go to the Isle of sky and you want a bag or a purse you might want to keep that in mind. My friend bought one that was more large than what I would have wanted but it was around a hundred and some dollars great price for the quality. It's well known that the UK is not known for its great weather. Lots of rain and can be very windy around the cliffs and water. I bought vessie shoes which are waterproof and comfortable but kind of expensive. I also took a raincoat with a hood and a hat with a brim and a chin strap because the wind around the cliffs is real. This hat is especially nice because it has a mesh netting that you can unclip in case you're getting in a buggy area which around the ferry pools we needed. If you don't need the netting you can just clip it back up and so it's really handy. The UK and pretty much most of Europe we find that they like twin beds in the hotels and especially the b&bs. I guess people don't like each other lol and want to sleep together. So we would call ahead and ask that they push the beds together before we get there if that was the case. They also don't seem to have air conditioning screens on the windows or sheets on the beds?? Sometimes places will have fans so it's worth asking or calling ahead to see if you can reserve a fan because they definitely don't have enough fans for every room. If you stay in a US-based hotel like a Hilton or Marriott Holiday Inn you don't have to deal with this as much but I guess it's just common in Europe. Traveling through the summer or heat wave months this can be a bit of a problem. The bed seemed all have these duvets which is great if it's cold out but when it's too warm it's a bit uncomfortable. Since we were roasting we had to open the window didn't love that there was no screen and a lot of the windows are made to where you can only open them about an inch so it doesn't provide much air. This was the case through all of the UK not just the Isle of Skye.
