For the younger crowd
The group we were in were an average age of 40+ for our pub crawl. The bars we went to were college age kids and definitely club vibe meat market for your 20s. Wasn’t our Scene and left the crawl after 3 pubs. Plus the shots were pretty terrible. Tom the guide was entertaining. Just wasn’t for us. Was hoping for a more Scottish pub experience.

Lonnie the absolute STAR
Lonnie the guid for our pub crawl group was absolutely smashing. She was super friendly and quite engaging, just the sort of person you would need to lead you to a good time. She was absolutely professional and made sure everyone had a good time and kept everyone in check. I am glad I did this publicly crawl with Lonnie and I would be sure to recommend it to all my friends and family coming to Edinburgh!! She stands as tall and is just as iconic as the Edinburgh castle!

Perfect tour with Tiana!
Perfect tour! Tiana the guide were absolutely smazing. Enthusiastic, knew alot of history and funfsctd and created a joyful and safe atmosphere. Think everyone in the group felt included and had a great time! Perfect for groups, friends, couples or solo travelers. The stuff you get included pays for the tour itself. This is a no brainer! The only thing i miss, is the pictures the guide took of our group!

Incredible experience worth all the money! Definitely recommend!
Honestly probably my favorite experience in Edinburgh solely to the two hosts Lonnie and Esther! It can be scary to go out drinking as a young woman in a new country and they made me feel so safe! At one point there was a guy who was getting pretty handsy and close and as soon as I let Lonnie know she helped diffuse the situation and subtly kept the guy away from me which was incredible! My best friend got separated and they both helped me find her immediately and I was So so so so grateful for both of them! I made So many friends and it was the perfect start to my trip! If you are a solo traveler this was a fun way to go out without being nervous about being in a new place! I would give 10000 stars if I could! Lonnie and Esther are the most fun and welcoming hosts!!!

Solo traveler from Australia
As a solo traveler from Australia, the pub crawl was a great experience to meet fellow travelers. Tom was a great host and I was fortunate enough to do the crawl with a nice balance of travelers from multiple countries.

Amazing night
Lewis was our guide and he was amazing. I tried pub crawl for the first time and it was an amazing experience. I enjoyed every second of it. Lewis is a great host. I made so many friends, across the globe at Edinburgh through Pub Crawl. I enjoyed my solo travel.
