Stop At: Edinburgh Castle, Castlehill, Edinburgh EH1 2NG, UK

You will be guided through the grounds of Edinburgh Castle. It is worth to note that we can not take you inside any of the Caste Buildings (no tour operator can) but we will give you the rich history of the Castle, it's place in Scottish history and many of it's more unusual tales so that after the tour you will be able to explore the Castle with a much deeper understanding than a casual visitor.

A great experience with our lovely and funny tourguide, SONIA! I highly recommend to visit Edinburgh Castle with Sonia to hear plenty of interesting stories and fun facts, which you won't read in guidebooks. She grabbed our full attention from the start, to the very end. Absolutely loved it!

Our guide Sonya was very entertaining and introduced the history of the castle in an engaging and in-depth manner. Breathtaking views of Edinburgh from the castle walls. Should be on a must see list for visitors to Edinburgh and Little Fish tours really make the experience come alive!

English Ben was an excellent tour guide. Great knowledge of history, engaging, and entertaining Castle tour was interesting and you can extend your time after the tour to explore further. Castle is a must see on your first trip to Edinburgh

English Ben our guide was an absolute treasure and fountain of knowledge. He was witty, articulate, knowledgeable about History (having a degree in History probably helps) but the way he wove the stories of the people who lived at Edinburgh Castle along with the historical events was absolutely fascinating and we could have listened all day! The hour and half wasn't enough. More...more...more...
