It is a long day and our tour guide Dougie was wonderful. He told stories and was very informative throught the ride. Bring a water bottle. They do stop for toilet breaks and for snakes/lunch. The first stop about an hour in you can grab breakfast and coffee. We got back around 8:30 so don’t make plans after. Long day but worth the trip. Beautiful landscape. The boat was about 45 min…. It was cute..

Edinburgh Castle Tour with Greg a must when visiting this amazing city

Greg was our excellent, knowledgeable, detailed, entertaining Tour Guide for Edinburgh Castle I highly recommend this tour and him. I had visited back in 2020, this time with my adult daughter, it was her first time and we both loved it. Such interesting, enthralling history and Greg voiced it so well often in character- thanks Greg 🙏

R5382PIkb, Jul 2026

Incredible experience, highly recommend! Great for families

I was told about the Choclaterium from a co-worker who recommended it, when they found that I was going with my family. Booked with ease on the website. Was easy to find on the maps, and close to the bus stops. Tour was small amount of people, due to the size and close attention they pay to everything, which is a good thing. Time was exactly what was needed to get everything done! Our guide Al (Not AI) was knowledgeable, funny, well articulated and loves his job!

Guided tour of Edinburgh Castle - July 2026

We had a fantastic guided tour of Edinburgh Castle and would highly recommend it! Our guide was knowledgeable and had a wonderful way of explaining the significance of different areas while keeping the tour engaging and enjoyable.Even though the castle was very busy, she paced the tour perfectly so we never felt rushed or overwhelmed. She also knew exactly where to stop for the best photo opportunities and made sure we were in a great spot to watch the Changing of the Guard, which was a highlight of our visit.This tour made our visit to Edinburgh Castle so much richer than if we had explored on our own. If you're visiting Edinburgh, this guided tour is well worth it!

AMCCh2018, Jul 2026

EXCELLENT experience!

AMAZJNG!! Alistair was incredible - native to Edinburgh, knowledgeable about the history as we entered the castle and REALLY brought the history of the caste itself to life. Tickets to the castle itself were sold out that day, so it was great to have that organized in advanced. He was thoughtful about pacing for some with limited mobility. He’s a solo proprietor and CLEARLY cares about each and every person on his tour.

Loch Ness and Caledonian Canal 2-Hour Cruise from Dochgarroch

A2576OCjackd, Jul 2026

Excellent trip

We did the "Contemplation" Tour - 2 hours just sailing about on the loch, totally magical on a hot sunny day. The boat leaves from Dochgarroch - a very pleasant 3.5 mile walk in each direction from Inverness along the Caladonian Canal towpath (we saw a red kite flying overhead!) Ate at the gift shop place, looked at the cows, wandered around. Lovely afternoon: loads of room on the boat, guide was very informative although some of the joes fell a bit flat:) Great value all round. NB the trip doesn't d the whole loch, just a wee bit of it

Very knowledgeable guide, interesting fact and exciting tour

We had a fantastic time on the Double Dead Tour with the great Alistair as our guide. His knowledge of history, details, facts was amazing.... and some good scares:) Access to the vaults and areas of the graveyard felt exclusive and learned of some very dark, and also tragic, eras and events of the city's history.

Glasgow Ghouls, Ghosts and Gruesome Tales Tour

Katelin_Maria, Jul 2026

The perfect tour.

Richard was an absolutely fantastic guide. His humour and knowledge had both me and my partner hooked the entire time. The tour is so much more than a ‘ghost’ experience, we learnt about the history behind Glasgow and saw some hidden gems along the way. The price was more than fair for the experience and the length of time was great- if anything we wished it was longer just so we could hear more of Richard’s stories and humour! We went during July so it was still light out at the time of our walk. I can imagine in the darker nights it would be extra spooky!
