The 10 most-booked tickets tours in Scotland. What each day actually includes, who runs it, and what you can expect to pay.
Edinburgh Castle guided walking tour with entry ticket: royal palace stories, Great Hall history, photo stops, and time to explore.
“Really enjoyed the tour around Edinburgh castle. Tour guide was very knowledgeable & extremely friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Highly recommended.”
Skip the line into Edinburgh Castle on a 90-minute guided walk with priority entry, War Museum and Crown Jewels, then roam on your own.
“The guide showed up late, was not wearing anything red (as stated), or had an umbrella extended or up in the air. I would not book this again, just book tickets online at official castle website. The tour guides should be more responsible to be on time and chat should give you the tour guides…”
Skip-the-line Edinburgh Castle guided tour with tickets included. Get context on the Royal Mile, Mons Meg, St Margaret’s Chapel, and the Honours.
“Joe was brilliant, even though it was bitterly cold he kept us all very entertained and informed, fun time”
Royal Edinburgh Ticket bundles 48-hour hop-on hop-off buses with guaranteed entry to Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, and Royal Yacht Britannia.
“Great way to see the city and get an overview of what you would and would not like to see. Guide worked great for us and it was most appreciated.”
Walk Edinburgh’s Royal Mile to Edinburgh Castle with a guided Old Town tour, included castle entry, and a shot at the One O’Clock Gun.
“Royal mile history and Edinburgh castle, mark was very engaging, kept the tour moving along and super knowledgeable.”
Step into Edinburgh Dungeon for interactive dark-history fun with jump scares, audience participation, and the Drop Dead Ride finale. Mobile ticket.
“Super fun, interactive experience. I was picked to be the witch in trial and kept getting picked out of the crowd. It was an amazing time. Not scary at all. Would definitely recommend”
Fast entry and an award-winning audio tour at Peterhead Prison Museum, letting you walk through Scotland’s high-security convict past.
“Really wasn't sure what to expect always had an interest in Prison . This is the first one I've been out. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour”
General admission to Sea Life Loch Lomond with reef predators, Scotland’s shark collection, a tunnel shipwreck view, and a starfish touch pool.
“Unfortunately we were unable to go due to having to self isolate but was unable to get a refund which is not good as every thing else we were due to attend made a full refund!!”
Timed Palace of Holyroodhouse admission on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile with a multimedia guide through Mary, Queen of Scots’ rooms.
“Viator ensured we were registered at Hollyrood House and from then on the venue provided the audio guide and headsets. I liked the fact that I could cancel 24 hours prior, I don’t believe that Hollyrood House gave me that option.”
A guided Edinburgh Castle highlights tour from the Royal Mile with entry ticket, map, and time to explore at your pace afterward.
“We were captivated by John's historical accounts throughout the castle tour: he perfectly captured our attention with his energy and the pace of the tour. We learned and retained a lot from this visit.”
