Overview

Embark on a journey through time & heritage, from old to new within the heart of Edinburgh, home to many of the UK’s oldest drinking establishments, with local pubs (or ‘locals’) at the heart of communities all over the city. The city’s Rose Street is one of the most famous streets in Scotland, and for good reason – this intimate and friendly lane has played host to many great people over the years. Its pubs are still alive today with great stories, great beers and amazing food.

On your Tour of Edinburgh’s Historic Pubs, swerve the mediocre and over-hyped to seek out pubs with authentic character. Your tour guide - a local expert - will take you to three of the best pubs on Rose Street, where you will enjoy a pour of whiskey or a pint at each stop (up to three drinks included).

What's included

  • Plenty of time to take photos of your favourite places
  • One single-shot pour of whisky or pint at each pub (up to 3 pubs)
  • A friendly, professional tour guide for your own private group
  • Food and additional drinks
  • Hotel pick up, we do recommend a centrally located start point
  • Transportation throughout experience
  • Gratuities (optional)
