Civitatis nunca pasó mi reserva a la empresa local. No estaba en el listado y no había tour en español al castillo ese día. Así que muy amablemente los guías de Somos Escocia me ubicaron en un tour en inglés. No lo aproveché tanto por el tema del idioma.

Civitatis never passed my booking on to the local company. It wasn't on the list and there was no tour in Spanish to the castle that day. So the Somos Escocia guides very kindly put me on a tour in English. I didn't take advantage of it much because of the language issue.

My tour guide Richard was unquestionably the best tour guide I have ever had! Anywhere! He is a natural, guiding us around and through all the historically important aspects of Edinburgh castle. As he told us all about each historical event it seemed like he was reenacting them - almost like he was really there when they happened! Richard the Magnificent! Magnificent!

El guía, Fernando, fue amable y muy profesional. El problema es que pasas muchas horas en el autobús, más de 7 horas y no tanto en los lugares que se visitan. Por lo demás, una buena experiencia. Si estás dudando entre hacer esta y la de Stirling, yo me quedaría con la segunda.

The guide, Fernando, was friendly and very professional. The problem is that you spend many hours on the bus, more than 7 hours and not so much in the places you visit. Otherwise, a good experience. If you are hesitating between doing this one and the one in Stirling, I would go with the second one.

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.

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. Translate this opinion into English.

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.

Creo que me he enamorado de Edu. Qué gran guía, cuánta pasión y cuánto conocimiento. Jamás he estado tan pendiente de tantas explicaciones como con él. Interesante información respecto a María Estuardo y William Wallace entre otros. No podía dejar de escuchar. El Castillo es una maravilla, te dan un ticket para entrar y después del tour, tienes todo el tiempo del mundo hasta el cierre para disfrutarlo por tu cuenta. Considero que es algo imprescindible si visitáis la capital escocesa. Translate this opinion into English.

I think I've fallen in love with Edu. What a great guide, how much passion and how much knowledge. I have never been so attentive to so many explanations as with him. Interesting information regarding Mary Stuart and William Wallace among others. I couldn't stop listening. The Castle is wonderful, they give you a ticket to enter and after the tour, you have all the time in the world until closing to enjoy it on your own. I consider it to be something essential if you visit the Scottish capital. Opinion translated. Show original.

Ángeles ha sido la mejor guía que he tenido en los últimos años, explicaba muy bien todo y me ha transmitido el sentimiento escocés más que ningún otro guía hasta el momento, me ha ayudado a identificarme más con el sentimiento escocés que al inglés. Tour muy recomendable si quieres visitar el castillo de Edimburgo. Translate this opinion into English.

Ángeles has been the best guide I've had in recent years, she explained everything very well and has conveyed the Scottish feeling to me more than any other guide so far, she has helped me identify more with the Scottish feeling than with English.
