Great time!
So glad we did this. I surprised my family with this unusual tour, not letting them know what was going to happen. Really though, even I didn’t really know what was going to happen. We had done other walking tours of Edinburgh and were a bit “walking toured” out but this one is so much better and fun and different....just book it! You’ll laugh and learn and laugh some more. Dave is hilariously funny and you get to see a lot of the old town. I’d recommend booking the tour early in your visit as it will give you a lay of the land and background of the city.

Dave was a great tour guide! Highly recommend this tour if your not a sensitive political correct individual. He makes his tour a unique for sure.

Great tour informative and funny
What can I say about Dave. If you go to Edinburgh without children I can not recommend this tour enough. Not only did we learn a lot about history we had a great laugh as well. I could not believe how much ground we covered in 90 minutes, yet nothing felt rushed and hurried. Yes there is a bit of bad language, but nothing worse than you hear on an episode of Peaky Blinders. So if you are not easily offended and like a good joke and a good bit of banter, give this a go, you wont regret it. Thank you for a great tour Dave

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Dirty Olde Town Walking tour - Adults only: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Edinburgh.
How much does The Dirty Olde Town Walking tour - Adults only cost?
+
Prices start at £600 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Edinburgh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The Dirty Olde Town Walking tour - Adults only take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Edinburgh is not rushed.
Is The Dirty Olde Town Walking tour - Adults only worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 40 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Edinburgh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Dirty Olde Town Walking tour - Adults only?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is The Dirty Olde Town Walking tour - Adults only suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Dirty Olde Town Walking tour - Adults only?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Edinburgh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Edinburgh and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Dirty Olde Town Walking tour - Adults only start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Edinburgh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Edinburgh?
+
On Outty we rank every Edinburgh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Chocolatarium Chocolate Tour Experience in Edinburgh, The Mountebank Comedy Walk of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Old Town: Historical Guided Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Edinburgh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Edinburgh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in The Dirty Olde Town Walking tour - Adults only?
+
Included: Guided walking tour; and dirty offensive and bad jokes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for The Dirty Olde Town Walking tour - Adults only?
+
