We understand you’re considering our Seasonal Events Tour in Edinburgh, and we’re delighted you’re interested! This 120-minute tour consistently receives an average rating of 4.6/5 based on over 506 reviews, and it's priced at £25 – a fantastic value for the experience.
Given that this is a literary pub tour, we recommend comfortable walking shoes as you’ll be spending much of the time exploring Edinburgh’s historic pubs and streets. Layers are key; these tours often take place outdoors, so being able to adjust to changing temperatures is important.
It's also wise to bring something to keep you hydrated – a small bottle of water or perhaps an alcoholic beverage to enjoy during the tour! Don’t forget your phone for taking pictures and potentially accessing any discussion prompts offered by the guide.
Finally, given the nature of pub tours, smart casual attire is generally appropriate. You'll want to feel comfortable enough to chat with fellow literary enthusiasts and soak in the atmosphere.
