Overview

Enjoy a wee walk followed by a premium whisky tasting in one of the oldest pubs in Edinburgh with a fun, local guide, and see a new side to Edinburgh on your trip with your own Private Whisky Tour.

You'll spend the first part of the tour on a walking tour with your guide, discovering the history and culture of Edinburgh. Explore the stories of Edinburgh's people, from kings to clergy, Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, and more.

After just over an hour of walking, you'll deserve a wee nip (or three)! Relax with the guide and enjoy a premium whisky tasting in Edinburgh's second oldest pub, trying three of Edinburgh & Scotland's finest whiskies, and learning more about the whiskies as you go.

Everything is included in the price, just show up and enjoy!
