Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Pete, our guide, was an absolute great guy. He is full of energy, high spirited and very friendly. He makes the trip twice the fun by delighting everyone with nice stories and great music. The tour as simply amazing, we saw some great sights and took plenty of photos to cherish. From Harry Potter to James Bond, Pete knows them all and has some nice jokes to share too. I would definitely recommend the trip to others.

    Our guide Raj was fantastic. So knowledgeable, I didn't realise we would get such a great overview of the last 1000 years of Scottish history. He was informative and entertaining! we spent 4 hours at the castle but could have been there for 3 or 4 times as long!

    We took the 6.10 tour so it was dark at that point , which added to the creepy atmosphere!! Great tour guide and very interesting experience.

    Great way to see this compact city. The re-booking for £4 per ticket for the next day was excellent value. Thoroughly recommend.

    Our driver and guide Mark was excellent, very knowledgeable and funny! The tour of the Scottish countryside and Stirling Castle was wonderful, we would not hesitate to book again for a longer trip to the highlands and Loch Ness!

    Had such a great day! Our tour guide Jamie’s enthusiasm was contagious and he really made me feel like we got the most out of our day, making extra stops if we saw a good place for pictures along the way

    Great tour, the small groups make it easy to travel with. Vehicle was comfortable and our driver, Catty, was very charismatic and charming. Had some great time to see St. Andrew’s. Would recommend going at a time of year when there is more daylight as it was dark in Falkland and the palace was closed. Otherwise great!

    I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Mr. YJ for the amazing Harry Potter tour! His enthusiasm and knowledge made the experience both informative and enjoyable. I especially appreciated the fascinating historical insights about Edinburgh that he shared along the way. It was a memorable journey that any Harry Potter fan would cherish!
