Let’s talk about preparing for your Adventure Tours experience in Edinburgh! Given the variety of tours – ranging from 60 to 10080 minutes and averaging a fantastic 4.7/5 rating – we want you to be comfortable and ready for anything. These tours are predominantly outdoor activities, often involving walking and potentially cycling or e-biking across the countryside.
Because of this, sturdy footwear is absolutely essential. Comfortable trainers or hiking boots with good grip would be ideal. We recommend bringing layers of clothing; the Scottish weather can change rapidly, even within a single day. A waterproof jacket or raincoat and trousers are highly advisable, as well as a fleece or sweater to trap warmth.
Considering the duration ranges from just over an hour to nearly 19 hours, it’s wise to pack essentials like sunscreen, insect repellent (depending on the time of year), and a water bottle. Bringing snacks is also a good idea, particularly for longer tours, although some tours may provide refreshments.
Finally, given that many tours involve cycling or e-biking, wearing comfortable clothing that allows freedom of movement is key. We suggest bringing a small backpack to carry your personal items safely and securely throughout the adventure.
