The Edinburgh Castle tour was interesting and informative and Melanie was the absolute best guide. She's fun, knows a TON of Scottish history, and keeps things moving at the right pace. She was also full of good advice outside of the tour...food recommendations and other sites to see. We would be happy to take any tour she leads!

What they think about this tour.
Great tour by Sonia. Thank you for the knowledge and the experience.
Enjoyed our tour. Learned about Edinburgh’s history and evolution. Our guide did a great job finding spots to share facts while avoiding the crowds of Fringe as well as she could. Definitely recommend!
