Michael had a very good historical knowledge of Edinburgh and took us through some beautiful buildings. We had unique gins. I would highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

It’s great to hear Michael made your Edinburgh experience so special — his deep historical knowledge, access to beautiful buildings, and the unique gin tasting clearly created a memorable tour. Thanks for the warm recommendation!

Gin Lovers Must Do Tour

Jodi_B, Apr 2025

If you are a gin lover, this is the tour for you and if you are really lucky you will get James as your guide. Once he found out where we were staying he adjusted to meet us at our hotel. We visited 3 great gin pubs and gained so much knowledge about how gin is made, the different blends, why it came to be in Scotland, and also learned a lot of Scottish history and culture along the way. This is a must do tour!!!!

Response from Host, Apr 2025

e're thrilled to hear you had such a great time with James and enjoyed the gin tour. It's wonderful that you not only discovered amazing gin spots but also learned about Scotland’s rich history and culture. We truly appreciate the recommendation!
