Let’s talk about what to bring for your Edinburgh Classes & Workshops tour! Given the diverse range of experiences – from short workshops lasting just 30 minutes to longer immersive sessions up to 240 minutes – and the price variations (£6 - £495), we want you prepared for a comfortable and enjoyable day.
Considering that many of these classes are held indoors, particularly those with a culinary or creative focus, comfort is key. We recommend bringing comfortable clothing that allows for movement; jeans or trousers are generally suitable but avoid anything too restrictive. Layers are always advisable as temperatures can fluctuate depending on the activity – a light sweater or cardigan will be invaluable.
For tours lasting 30-240 minutes, you’ll likely be doing some walking, so wear comfortable shoes that you've already broken in. If your chosen workshop involves any hands-on activities, such as cooking or art creation, consider bringing an old shirt or apron to protect your clothing.
If you opt for the top-rated “Dinner and Private Tour with your Personal Scottish Sommelier” experience at £495, remember that this is a more formal occasion, so smart casual attire would be appropriate.
Finally, don't forget essentials like water, sunscreen (if outdoors), and any personal medications you might require. With such a varied selection of tours available – 21 in total with an average rating of 4.7/5 - we are confident you’ll have a fantastic time!
