Honestly, I didn’t know how we would go. Not sure if we would have a great night or not. Well. We didn’t have a great night. We had a FANTASTIC night!! Met some amazing people and hit some good drinking spots. I would highly recommend this tour. It’s not just for the young ones it’s for any one of any age.

What a night!

Boring places and group...

Fredrik_G, Jan 2025

Boring places and group was very scattered. Left after 2nd bar. Not much planned for us as a group...

Dancing and crawling

patrick_b, Nov 2024

Found a couple of great new bars to visit. Places that I would never have found myself. One with fantastic live music and dancing.

Very fun, very diverse

Tiffany_S, Nov 2024

Super fun crawl! Some places didn't have enough bartenders to serve everyone in the group + the rest of the public, but the variety of venues and mix of folks attending was excellent! Didn't stay too long at any venue, and just a bit of walking between kept us from being too far gone. Will definitely be going back to some of the venues!

Make your own entertainment because tour guides boring .

katrina_W, Mar 2024

Unsure how one of the tour guide ( M ?) March Friday 8 is getting such great ratings on this pub crawl. It certainly is make your own entertainment. The tour guide we had was boring uninvolved and got us from every pub like herding cows. Go go go !! He says … or a text where half the time was no service . Relied on others to tell us we were leaving if they were told . The most interaction that was bubbly , was we got there initially it was a handshake before the pub Crawl started.. 2 venues were quite fun. We found some of the pub crawls , We had to wait till the end to get our drink and then buy a drink to get a free drink overall it’s definitely worth the money you pay for the free drinks . You definitely have to make your own entertainment. He does not interact with you whatsoever and might be lucky to get one photo With the Group . Would not recommend this tour .

Great time

Samantha_O, Nov 2023

Had a wonderful time- so well organized, yet felt organic enough that it was easy to make friends and feel like I fit in, even as a solo traveler. The bars were all so cool and definitely worth revisiting later in my trip. This was a great way to meet people and check out some unusual spots!

Unique and exciting pubs

Lilia_C, Nov 2023

It was such a good time! All the bars were so unique and fun. This was also a great way to make new friends! I would go again for sure.

Great night out in Edinburgh!

Tara_P, Oct 2023

Amazing experience! Selected the best spots to visit, great drink specials, tons of pictures. Having never been to Edinburgh this was the best way to have a fun night out with my brother! Thank you.
