Edinburgh itself becomes the puzzle in this self-guided outdoor escape game - no venue, no host, just your team and the streets. Magnus has taken the formulas and scattered the proof across the old centre, past High Street, St Giles' Cathedral, The Mound and Mound Place, and every location holds a code, a riddle or a photo task waiting to be cracked. Roles matter here: one player reads, another looks, and the team moves on only once you agree. Send two or more teams out at the same time and the hunt becomes a contest, which is what makes this city escape game work as well for a team-building afternoon as for a day out with friends. Reading clues while the city moves around you is part of the challenge.

James is the best tour guide I have ever had! His knowledge as a historian is second to none, but he gives details through the lens of a storyteller. If I lived in Edinburgh I would hope to take a class he taught! We ended up booking a second tour with James specifically for his candor. Highly recommend this tour and James especially

Anyeshka_W, Oct 2026

Great tour

First part of tour takes you through some interesting areas of Edinburgh above ground. Once you arrive at the vault there is quite a tall step to negotiate but I managed without too much trouble despite severe arthritis so certainly doable. Darren was a great guide, very entertaining and informative. Very interesting to see some of Edinburgh's underbelly and hear of it's past.

Me and my mom visited Edinburgh for her birthday and we both really wanted to go to see the castle. We immediately loved our guide Max when he called our group “team handsome” and my mom said to me “yes! We got the good one!” Absolutely incredible tour and Max was amazing, funny and respectful to both us in the group and to the castle’s history. Definitely recommend!!

Great St. Andrews trip

We had a great day on the St. Andrews trip with Shea. She was very personable and knowledgeable about Fife. She was raised and still lives in Fife, so she had great information and stories to share. Plenty of time to enjoy St. Andrews and have lunch. Loved the stops and ride through views of the fishing villages. Would highly recommend this trip and Rabbies tour company. We also did the Highlands tour with this company.

Excellent tour with Highland Experiences! The day was long, but they made every effort to make you comfortable on the tour bus and with stops along the way. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Scottish history and obviously proud of his Scottish identity - wonderful to listen to his stories and experiences. The highlight was Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle - bucket list place for us! We could easily have spent more time there. The scenery throughout the day was magnificent and a perfect way to see the Highlands if you are limited on time in Scotland.
