    Most of the places is from T2. The only 3 places from original Trainspotting was something I could find myself

    Response from Host, Aug 2026

    Too bad, I love this tour. This takes you to the sites that are in Edinburgh for trainspotting and T2. For, some of them are quit iconic. The tour also tells the history of drug use in Scotland and how it effected the people. Sorry you did not like it. I'm happy to refund you, just email me at info@walkntours.com

    Trainspotting. It was a tightrope spud.

    Very easy to use and interesting. For £6 each it’s good value. My daughter and I are both fans of the movie so it was really cool to be guided around and also learn a little bit about the surroundings. All in all, very good.
