Fun time with friends! - Tom was amazing! Me and my friends are study abroad students from the US and visiting for the weekend and this was a silly and great way to see the bar scene, meet new people, and get a little tipsy! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have a fun time!

Tia - I had an amazing time on the pub crawl last night in Edinburgh, and a huge part of that was thanks to our host, Tia. From the very start, she was incredibly friendly, energetic, and welcoming, which instantly set the tone for the night. She made everyone feel comfortable, included, and genuinely excited to be there. Tia has a great sense of humor and a very natural way of bringing people together without it ever feeling forced. She was attentive to the group, checked in with everyone, and made sure the atmosphere stayed fun and social throughout the entire crawl. Her positive energy and enthusiasm were contagious, and it was clear that she truly enjoys hosting. The selection of bars was excellent, with a good mix of vibes, and the pacing of the night was perfect. Thanks to Tia, this pub crawl became one of the highlights of my trip to Edinburgh. I would 100% recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

If you are looking for a good night out go to the pub crawl - Myself and my husband had such an amazing time on the pub crawl. Tom was a great host and the night was fun throughout. Many bars were visited, shots had and line dancing. Meeting new people from across the world and getting an experience on a Scottish night out was brilliant! Highly recommend. The Scottish are so friendly ☺️

Pub crawl impervious - Fascinating Crawl Pub. Damn was amazing guiding the group through Edinburgh’s best pubs/nightclubs. An experience that I highly recommend. Edinburgh at night is a fantastic city. Good friendships and good connections are easily created. Congratulations to the organization. Just amazing ♥️

Legendary night – Tom made it happen! - I went on 'The Original Edinburgh Pub Crawl' and it was absolutely wonderful! The whole experience was amazing, great bars and vibe, but the absolute highlight was Tom. He led the group with fantastic energy and truly made everything better. He was the perfect person to run the night. If you are thinking about it, just go (and hope you get Tom as your guide)! Highly recommend.

Genuinely some of the most fun nights of my life - I'm so amazed and surprised that meeting and spending your nights with complete strangers could be so much fun. I took shots of absinthe with an Indian gentleman, talked puffin rescue with an Icelandic island couple, played match maker with 6ft Swedish girls, and met an absolutely beautiful German girl. It's incredible how random life can be if you just go with it. I've always considered myself anti social and never do things like this, but it's changed my perspective on things for the better. Lastly, the guides are what make this, they deserve all the praise they can get. Adam, G, and Thomas are amazing and truely genuine people. Thank you so much for doing this.

Fun Night Out - Fun time! I went solo and had a great time! Would recommend for those looking for a fun night activity in Edinburgh! Some of the pubs / bars had vastly different vibes but I enjoyed seeing the different flavors!

Discontinued - Tour aborted in the third bar. There are so many great pups with live music. The first 3 bars incl. meeting point we did not like, therefore smelled off. Our manager was rather disinterested. There was nothing going on in the bars. We are then independent in other pup's - that was mega

Tourist Trap Avoid! - Really Really bad experience. My wife (30F) and I (35M) booked this pub crawl. The bar's were pretty boring and very little excitement. There was no effort by the guide to introduce everyone or to help break the ice. The guide seemed very annoyed and went over her "rules" complaining about how bad customers are, she could have been more professional. My wife was feeling sick and was running late the guide refused to give me her pass until she showed up. This was just unnecessarily difficult behavior by the host, since we had already paid for the event. The guide repeatedly said that if we do not keep up she will leave us behind. We were supposed to get a "free shot" with each pub. This is NOT true you need to buy a drink and they give you "sugar water" shot. The only reason to do this if you want to know what Pubs locals go to and you can get this information from Reddit or Yelp. We left halfway through as it was a pretty bad night. Do NOT waste your money here.
