Reviews: Scotch Tour Edinburgh with a Local Expert: Private & 100% Personalized

Our guide Brian was very knowledgeable and took us to some great spots. He introduced us to some whiskey we definitely would not find in the US. It was a great afternoon.★

Reviews: Guided Edinburgh Private Walking Tour
Guest User2024-08-06
This was one of the best tours I have been on. Our tour guide, Alastair Sim, was phenomenal. He adapted to all of our needs--short time, a member of our party in a wheel chair, and our desires of what to see. When he learned we'd already taken a tour of the Castle, he asked what we wanted to see. We didn't know, so he prompted with questions like: Do you like Game of Thrones or Harry Potter. We responded that we liked Harry Potter.
Alastair then completely changed what he had originally planned and took us on a good walking tour that included many wonderful sites in Edinburgh along with a few specific to Harry Potter, but not limited just to HP. He was kind and patient as we pushed a wheel chair up steep hills and over cobblestone roads. His knowledge of Scotland was phenomenal. If you can get Alastair on a tour, you will be in for a treat!★

Reviews: Loch Ness, Scottish Highlands, Glencoe and Pitlochry Tour
Guest User2025-12-02
Amazing tour with the Hairy Coo tour company. The guide was just amazing! Never have I ever met such knowledgeable person who can so utterly captivate with their storytelling abilities. I came to Scotland with very vague understanding of the Scottish history, especially considering the Jacobite history. After this tour I've finally gathered a lot of valuable information. Also this tour is considered the longest of day tours among others, so be prepared for it. However, you travel on a big comfortable bus and can easily observe the High Lands en route with a lot of stops for sightseeing in different locations. I absolutely recommend this tour and tour company.★

Reviews: The Chocolatarium Chocolate Tour Experience in Edinburgh
Guest User2025-12-01
Our tour guide, Kristie was amazing. Really engaging and knew her stuff about the chocolate. We opted for some of the Christmas moulds to make our own chocolate but you could also still use the usual mould if you wanted to.
There was the option to make either milk or dark chocolate, no white option I'm afraid. However, there was plenty of opportunity to try some white chocolate, and lots more chocolate after.
Book ahead as it gets booked up quickly. For the cost it is great value for money with opportunities to buy your favourites in the shop after.
