Lorena nos enseñó la historia del Castillo de Edimburgo y no nos pudo gustar más. Era el primer tour que hacíamos y estábamos un poco reticentes pero las explicaciones fueron muy amenas y aprendimos un montón de cosas que se otra manera no nos preocupáramos en conocer. Muy recomendable. Repetiremos con otras actividades!! Translate this opinion into English.

Lorraine taught us the history of Edinburgh Castle and we couldn't have liked it more. It was the first tour we had done and we were a little reluctant, but the explanations were very enjoyable and we learned a lot of things that we otherwise wouldn't bother knowing. Highly recommended. We will repeat with other activities!! Opinion translated. Show original.

Gracias a nuestro guía Edu le sacamos el máximo provecho a este lugar. Además de explicarnos que encontraríamos en ,los distintos lugares y curiosidades del recinto, nos completó la visita con mucha historia de Escocia y de Edimburgo contada de forma muy amena. De este modo pudimos después continuar visitando el castillo de forma libre pero disfrutando de los detalles que Edu nos había facilitado. Muy recomendable Translate this opinion into English.

Thanks to our guide Edu we get the most out of this place. In addition to explaining to us what we would find in the different places and curiosities of the site, he completed the visit with a lot of history of Scotland and Edinburgh told in a very entertaining way.

El guía le doy un 20 sobre 10. Muy entretenido e interesante las cosas que nos contó, solo con escucharlo ya lo pasamos muy bien. Historia, anecdotas, leyendas, muy completo. El castillo es una maravilla, luego de contarte a fondo la historia del castillo puedes visitarlo a tu aire hasta las 18:00 (media hora antes ya van cerrando). Aconsejo ir y que a las 13:00 estés dentro para el cañonazo de las una en punto. Translate this opinion into English.

I give the guide a 20 out of 10. The things he told us were very entertaining and interesting, just by listening to him we already had a great time. History, anecdotes, legends, very complete. The castle is wonderful, after being told in depth the history of the castle you can visit it at your leisure until 6:00 p.m. (half an hour before they close). I advise going and being inside at 1:00 p.m. for the one o'clock cannon shot. Opinion translated. Show original.

Muy recomendable la visita al castillo con guía, Santiago fue muy simpático e hizo muy amena e interesante la explicación. Sin duda un excelente guía que explicó todo para que más tarde en la continuación de la visita ya individualmente dentro del castillo entendieras cada edificio y el contexto histórico del castillo. Translate this opinion into English.

The visit to the castle with a guide is highly recommended, Santiago was very friendly and made the explanation very enjoyable and interesting. Without a doubt, an excellent guide who explained everything so that later in the continuation of the visit, individually inside the castle, you would understand each building and the historical context of the castle.

Jesús, nos hizo una visita muy hamena al castillo de Edimburgo, para mi opinión encuentro el tour un poco caro con la visita y la entrada, aunque valio la pena porqué no teníamos entradas para el castillo porque se habían agotado por internet y en el castillo ya no vendían para todo el dia porque estavan agotas, así que es una muy buena opción por si te quedas sin entradas y para saber mas sobre la historia del castillo y Escocia Translate this opinion into English.

Jesús, gave us a very enjoyable visit to Edinburgh Castle, in my opinion I find the tour a little expensive with the visit and the entrance, although it was worth it because we did not have tickets for the castle because they had sold out online and in the castle They were no longer selling for the whole day because they were sold out, so it is a very good option in case you run out of tickets and to learn more about the history of the castle and Scotland Opinion translated.

Es una visita imprescindible. Lorena, nuestra guía, nos facilitó unas informaciones tan rigurosas como desenfadadas sobre la historia de Escocia., por lo que la visita al castillo resultó muy amena. Ha sido una actividad instructiva y divertida en un entorno impresionante. Translate this opinion into English.

It is an essential visit. Lorena, our guide, provided us with information that was as rigorous as it was casual about the history of Scotland, so the visit to the castle was very enjoyable. It has been an instructive and fun activity in a stunning environment. Opinion translated. Show original.

Excelente!!! Tuvimos como guia a Maria, quien aun con el mal tiempo que hacia se mantuvo al pie del cañon dandolo todo por hacer que nuestro tour fuera muy bueno, y lo logro que manera de enamorarte contando la historia de Escocia y del Castillo en particular. Tuve amigos durante el viaje que la tuvieron de guia y opinaban lo mismo que yo, una PROFESIONAL. Disfrute mucho del tour, las explicaciones y los consejos para finalizar mi visita con broche de oro.

Excellent!!! We had Maria as a guide, who even with the bad weather, stayed at the foot of the canyon, giving everything to make our tour a very good one, and she did what a way to make you fall in love by telling the history of Scotland and the Castle in particular. I had friends during the trip who had her as a guide and they thought the same as me, a PROFESSIONAL. I really enjoyed the tour, the explanations and the advice to end my visit with a flourish.

Richard led our tour. He was easy to hear, lovely strong voice , very friendly and made us laugh a lot. It was a hot day to be standing around but Richard kept to the point and tried to find us some shade. He was very knowledgeable However, we had a delay entering the castle, due to the changing of the guards.

Fue una buena experiencia, se notaba lo bien informada y formada que estaba nuestra guía, la verdad es que es un monton de información de nombres y de hechos ocurridos en Edimburgo y nuestra guía se notaba que se los sabia al dedillo, lo hizo ameno sabiendo que es algo tedioso dar tanta información en tan poco tiempo, por mi parte muy bien llevado y una gran experiencia. Translate this opinion into English.

It was a good experience, you could see how well informed and trained our guide was, the truth is that there is a lot of information about names and events that occurred in Edinburgh and our guide could tell that she knew them inside out, she made it enjoyable knowing It is somewhat tedious to give so much information in such a short time, for my part it was very well managed and a great experience.
