Edinburgh (South Queensferry) Cruise Reviews

Heard history of the Royal Mile on the way to the Britannia ...

Explored the castle and had tea ...

Thursday was the final stop in Scotland at Edinburgh. The ship did not dock and used its lifeboats to shuttle people into the Queensferry port – the tender boat time and a 40 minute shuttle bus ride into town significantly delayed enjoyment of Edinburgh. Ray had obtained online tickets for Edinburgh Castle so they walked from St. Andrews square to Edinburgh Castle, built on top of a hill. ...

Gorgeous scenery - took the x99 bus at the port for 9 pounds round trip. Had prebooked the castle tickets. We walked up to the castle - if you can’t walk there are buses and taxis. ...

Too hard to really see much of the city in a short time on a general tour. We should have picked a specific point of interest and taken that tour. ...

Great tour. Tour guide was Lettia and she was super. Timing was just right for tour of Castle and a little shopping in Old Town. Edinburgh is beautiful. ...

Wold have preferred two day at this port vs Dublin, on our own we toured Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace and walked the Royal Mile ...

Used the shuttle x99 out of the Port and spent the day in Edinburgh and two went to St Andrews to golf... fantastic ...

Seemed like a great city, but the Fringe Festival was in effect, bringing 800,000 extra tourists into the city. Could not take a cab anywhere near the castle. walked three miles uphill to get close enough for pictures. Unless you love being shoved around by crowds, do not go during the fringe festival. I would go back to see the many places we missed. I think that you could spend 3-4 days ...

Took shuttle into city on on our own. ...
