We went on this tour with Timberbush Tours and would definitely book with them again! We opted for their tour instead of the cruise ship tour and were very happy with it!

Connor was an excellent driver and tour guide. His local knowledge was informative and entertaining. The sites we saw and the places we went were very cool indeed. Edinburgh Castle is huge!

David was our tour guide and Adam was the driver. Both were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. It was very interesting to tour the Britannia lots of history there. I could not go inside Edinburgh castle, I waited too late to buy tickets and it was sold out. I had lunch in a cute pub on the Royal Mile. David was always there to meet us and guide us back to the bus. He counted several times to be sure no one was left behind. He even helped taking pictures for us, this was really appreciated since I was travelling solo.

The Edinburgh Shore Excursion: City Tour and Royal Yacht Britannia was our second excursion with David and Adam. They are a terrific team. We were a little late so they had Brian shuttle us over to meet them. David is very knowledgeable and entertaining. He has a quick whit and is very personable. He is also very professional. The only problem that we had related to our purchase of tickets for excursions on the Timberbush website. They weren't recognized at the attractions and we experienced some difficult gaining admittance. I would suggest buying them directly from the attraction in the future.

A great day with our guide and driver Graeme who was brilliant. After visiting the Royal Yacht (a fascinating audio guided tour) we headed to the castle and Royal Mile. The castle was fully booked so we walked down the Royal Mile, grabbed lunch in Deacon Brodie's Tavern and looked in St Giles Cathedral which was superb. We were then picked up at the castle and treated to a further tour round the centre of Edinburgh by Graeme before being dropped back to catch the shuttle back to the ship. We can thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone.

The tour was well done in terms of the guide being very descriptive about the historical information relevant to the areas we were in.

This tour was exceptional. David was a great tour guide and Adam did a wonderful job navigating all the narrow streets. Edinburgh Castle is so massive I wish we had more time to explore. The tour of the yacht Britannia was so very interesting. This was just great as a shore excursion. We saw what we wanted to see and at a price much less than the similar ship excursion. And David was cognizant of the fact we needed to return to the ship in plenty of time before the all aboard.
