“This was such an incredible tour. From the minute we booked up until the day of the actual tour, we were so impressed. Prior to the tour, Jenny reached out to confirm what type of car seat we would need for our little one - how thoughtful! Noel was our guide and he was so incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable, it really brought this trip to life. He took us EVERYWHERE and it was some of the most breath taking and satisfying views of our lives. He was also a complete saint as our child screamed for 60% of the ride, maintaining all sorts of grace and giving us time to…”
Luxury whisky tasting in Edinburgh’s Lost Close underground vaults. 90 minutes, small group, 5 drams from 5 distilleries.

Edinburgh pub crawl with 6 free shots, VIP entry, drinking games, and host photos. Starts 7:30 pm in Cowgate, ends at The Hive.
“We had a lot of fun not really knowing what to expect. Tour went exactly as planned and we had much to drink. The included shots we had at each bar were sweet but easy enough for my wife to handle(she doesn’t drink really). Danielle our tour guide was amazing. We were celebrating our honeymoon on this trip, and our guide kept it a secret as we wished. Bar hopping was a lot of fun. Our group was awesome. We will be recommending it to those that visit. Thanks for a great time again!”

Our daughter had injured her leg on a previous excursion and Bryan did everything he could to make her traveling easier, including driving right up to the entrances of various locations. Bryan is an animal lover and actually took us to meet his dog at the end of the tour. Thrilled our daughter and made her day. Highly recommend these people for a tour. Prompt, professional and just plain awesome!!!”
