We really enjoyed our tour of Edinburgh Castle with Alice! Alice is a talented storyteller and our time with her flew by. We loved her sense of humor and fun. She taught us a lot about the history of the castle and of Scotland through her engaging stories. We also had a lovely and informative chat with her about the Edinburgh theater festivals. I strongly recommend Alice and this tour!

Fantastic day with Alice
Alice is a remarkable storyteller with a deep knowledge of all things related to Edinburgh Castle. Her insights go beyond what you would typically learn on a basic tour. My wife and I strongly suggest booking a tour with Alice.
