What to Bring on a Scavenger Hunts Tour in Edinburgh

Let’s talk about preparing for your Edinburgh Scavenger Hunt! We offer 19 different tours, ranging in price from £3 to £55 and lasting anywhere between 60 and 210 minutes – so there's something to suit everyone. The average rating across all the hunts is a fantastic 4.9 out of 5, and the top-rated “Edinburgh Scavenger Hunt & Highlights Self-Guided Walking Tour” boasts an impressive 5.0/5 based on just two reviews!

Given that these are primarily walking tours, comfort is key. You’ll be spending several hours on your feet, often navigating cobbled streets, so comfortable footwear is absolutely essential – trainers or sturdy walking shoes are highly recommended. Layers are also crucial; the weather in Edinburgh can change quickly, and you'll likely encounter a mix of sunshine and potentially cooler temperatures.

We suggest bringing a water bottle to stay hydrated throughout your adventure. A small backpack is useful for carrying essentials like your water bottle, phone (for navigation or photos), and perhaps a light snack if you get peckish.

Finally, don’t forget a map – although the tours are self-guided, having access to a physical or digital map can be really helpful for orientation, especially during longer hunts lasting up to 210 minutes. With such a varied range of tour durations, preparation is key to enjoying your time exploring Edinburgh!
