    Alistair was a great tour guide for the castle. He provided a lot of information about the castle, the city of Edinburgh and Scottish history. The tour ended with watching the canon being fired. Definitely recommend this tour.

  • Alastair is entertaining...

    Alastair is entertaining and engaging, and full of facts and fun. Our group had all levels of mobility/speed and I don’t think anyone felt rushed or paced down. You are walking up some steep inclines on cobblestones so I imagine traversing the castle would be very difficult with wheelchair or stroller. It’s good to know that guides are not permitted in the castle buildings themselves; Alastair gives you the history, the stories and the lay of the land. You then are free to enter all buildings. It was a great 90 minutes, we learned a lot and would recommend. Give yourself extra time to tour the site and buildings. There is much to see and Alastair sets the stage well. Do it!
