    excellent performance with good music, marching and lighting...

    excellent performance with good music, marching and lighting, also the fireworks with the castle as a historical background. marching bands are well trained with sharp uniform n gear. Marching skills and formation literacy are stunning when you looking with a bit knowledge of foot March, marching band. not only the amazing Scottish blow pipes but also Swiss and Latino style marching bands, perfect arm drill, Scottish dance n songs. one and half hour around with hundreds of performers, and back stage first aid supportive staff... the ticket price worth every penny although it's not a low price to me. I don't have a second of regret but wanna to watch again next time. I truly believe it show the military culture as well as the good organization within n neglected. without a doubt that tell the world the Scottish n UK culture at the lovely Edinburgh. 2 reminders, temperature is cold even at a good day of summer. I do wear thick cloth n beanie for this open area show without strong wind. and still feel a bit cold after the show. also you have to walk back to you hotel or what under such temperature. please have a good preparation with water proof clothing. 2ndly, I prefer drink less before such a good show. full of audience and good performance u never want to miss a second.

    Loved it. Bucket list event. Didn’t disappoint.

    Loved it. Bucket list event. Didn’t disappoint. We booked early online from Australia. The process is easy. Communication is good. The app works well. There were lots of people but the crowds are well handled. The show was sharp and kept moving along.

    Expect to be in a long queue before the start of the show,...

    Expect to be in a long queue before the start of the show, It is amazing to watch and hear we were in section 13 I think it was at the right place definitely take a poncho in case it rains,( crap British summer of 2023) drinks are expensive and you can't take your own they have bag searches, the show is just about long enough I could've sat through another hour of it.

    One of the most amazing experiences of my life. We did the Jacobite Hospitality package and we were treated like Royalty. Amazing service, food and drink followed by a truly spectacular show. Memory of a lifetime.

    If you have the opportunity to get tickets, just do it.

    If you have the opportunity to get tickets, just do it. It's cancelled for 2021 for obvious reasons, so 2022 is the next opportunity. If you can stretch your budget, get tickets for the end of the esplanade facing the castle, but any seat is better than missing the spectacle. Great fireworks at the end of a stirring evening. Check weather forecasts and come prepared for rain with a light poncho you can whip out if needed.

    A bucket list item for everyone of all ages!

    A bucket list item for everyone of all ages! So unique and hard to describe the experience. Tickets are hard to get unless you buy well in advance and remember it proceeds rain or shine or bitterly cold, so wrap up very well!
