- Junior2008Fergus, Canada197 contributionsThe best overall experience in Edinburgh, in my opinion. It is beautiful, a little strenuous, and totally rewarding. What a view!!!Written May 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Kailey S4 contributionsRooms are decorated nicely and the self-guided audio tour was great to be able to go at our own pace. Definitely recommend.Written May 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- Beany79WatfordWatford3 contributionsThis tour was a great little addition to our visit to Edinburgh. Just the right balance of history, information and gin tasting. Really interesting and Alyssa was very engaging.Written May 17, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Paul C15 contributionsA really good, captivating way to convey so much information. A real hands on tour, including squashing rocks, ice sculptures, volcanoes, time travel, chimps in the rainforest, looking for fish, and a 3-D flight across the world. We took a 4-year-old and he was entertained for the entire tour, but I'd guess apt for a range of ages.
Capped off by a near-unique smashing cinema experience.Written May 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Bruce FDundee, UK174 contributionsWe did the blood and guys tour as part of a visit to the Surgeons Museum. Gerry with a G was our host and was simply brilliant! His knowledge of the subject and storytelling style was brilliant, and the detail he crammed into the tour was awesome! The museum is great, really interesting and fascinating, perhaps not for the squeamish, but the highlight is Gerry’s tour!Written May 10, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- sfuhereuk681 contributionsThe Parliament is currently closed to visitors. However, the outside can still be visited. I realise that the architecture divides opinion, but I’ve always liked it. The last thing they should have done is try to do a carbon copy of Westminster, and they’ve certainly avoided that - it’s completely different. I like the inventiveness of the design and the attempts to show transparency. My own view is that it will be regarded by everyone as a truly great building in 50 years’ time. The inside, which I visited not long after it opened, is even more impressive and the debating chamber itself is the highlight. It reminded me in some ways of a modernist cathedral, with light streaming in. Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I think this is a building that people should be proud of.Written September 15, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Karl JEdinburgh, UK67 contributionsVisited the theatre last night to see Anything Goes, what a terrific show with a great, band, excellent singers a most amazing set and a very appreciate audienceWritten May 13, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Jen BBirmingham, UK2 contributionsVisited Holyrood palace and Abbey in July. I was very impressed of there deaf awareness, I thoroughly enjoyed my day out as the audio guides had subtitles and BSL so that I could look to see what was being said. The staff were very helpful as well with the stairs and finding an easier route. I feel that every where should have disabled access audio guides to enable people with disabilities to enjoy attractions.Written August 31, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- PepperjackmTexas1,276 contributionsOne of the biggest and best things in Scotland and Edinburgh in August is this gathering of international events, shows, plays, musical shows and acts, bands, orchestras.
Make sure that you buy from the proper venue, get good directions, arrive on time or early and enjoy.Written December 28, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Rebecca PManchester, UK39 contributionsPreferred this to Edinburgh Castle. You can see the history of the whole building both inside and outside. Liked the complementary audio guide. Shame the gardens and abbey weren’t available for viewing, but guess not really the weather for it in January. Would recommend visiting and whilst there doing the Arthur’s Seat walk nearbyWritten February 1, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- ItTastesLikeFeetEdinburgh, UK498 contributionsPedestrian and cycle lanes snaked around the park, with open grass areas for sports and relaxing. Tennis courts and a large play park closer to the Newington side. Exercise equipment scattered throughout the park. Tree-lined paths are beautiful in the spring and summer when the blossoms appear. Popular space for outside gatherings such as BBQs and sports events.Written November 21, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Angela StrswWirksworth, UK4 contributionswe were on a tour and there was only two of us, this I think gave us a greater insight to the distillery, everyone was very friendly and I hope our guide got back to Mexico for Xmas. The drinks were excellent I am not a gin drinker but was pleasantly surprised. Well worth a visitWritten January 4, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
