“Title would imply that Castle Entry is included but it is not. Fortunately there was not a long line to purchase tickets. And yes, it was noted in the tour description thus the 5 stars. Our guide, William was extremely knowledgeable and staged our trip up the hill so that we had short breaks while listening to the history of various Old Town landmarks. The cemetery was fascinating and we could have spent much more time there. Of course the castle is a must for anyone with the least interest in British history. Easy day trip from Edinburgh by train and William met us at the station. Lots of good…”
