Everything was explained and all the bars were more and more fun. It's a great way to kick off a visit and meet new people from all over the world.”

3.Edinburgh Pub Crawl Free Shots and VIP Entry

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 52 reviews · 5 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $20

Edinburgh pub crawl with VIP entry, 6 free shots, drinking games, and host photos across local bars, ending at The Hive in 5 to 6 hours.

“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!”

4.Explore Glasgow: Scottish Rogue Whisky Walking Pub Crawl

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 21 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $89

A small-group walking whisky pub crawl through Glasgow, from river stories to members-only pours, led by Neil, in English.

“It was fabulous. Neil was a warm, friendly, knowledgeable and passionate guide who tailored the whisky choices to the tastes of our group. He answered all our questions about whisky, Glasgow history and current events generously. Neil’s approach to whiskey is accessible and not pretentious. It was lovely afternoon and we kinda want to be friends with him now ! Glasgow is a great city and Neil’s tour was a great intro to it and to Scotch! Pro tip: don’t wear a football jersey/colours on this tour; they won’t let you into the bars. This is a “must do” in Glasgow!”
