    What a night

    Not a Bad Pub Crawl. Our guide Adelle was funny and friendly as well as full of energy. The only down side was that three of the bars gave the same Sour Apple shots and all the bars were so over crowded with young rowdy people that just became obnoxious and made the night unpleasant. On top of that not all the bars gave a drink discount as per the advertisement of this tour. Overall though you get what you pay for and it was okay. Just need better shots!

    For the younger crowd

    The group we were in were an average age of 40+ for our pub crawl. The bars we went to were college age kids and definitely club vibe meat market for your 20s. Wasn’t our Scene and left the crawl after 3 pubs. Plus the shots were pretty terrible. Tom the guide was entertaining. Just wasn’t for us. Was hoping for a more Scottish pub experience.

    Lonnie the absolute STAR

    Lonnie the guid for our pub crawl group was absolutely smashing. She was super friendly and quite engaging, just the sort of person you would need to lead you to a good time. She was absolutely professional and made sure everyone had a good time and kept everyone in check. I am glad I did this publicly crawl with Lonnie and I would be sure to recommend it to all my friends and family coming to Edinburgh!! She stands as tall and is just as iconic as the Edinburgh castle!

    The Original Edinburgh Pub Crawl: 7 Bars!: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Edinburgh.

    How much does The Original Edinburgh Pub Crawl: 7 Bars! cost?

    +

    Prices start at $20 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 Original Edinburgh Pub Crawl: 7 Bars! take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Original Edinburgh Pub Crawl: 7 Bars! worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 306 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 Original Edinburgh Pub Crawl: 7 Bars!?

    +

    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 Original Edinburgh Pub Crawl: 7 Bars! suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Original Edinburgh Pub Crawl: 7 Bars!?

    +

    Around 107 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Original Edinburgh Pub Crawl: 7 Bars! 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 Original Edinburgh Pub Crawl: 7 Bars!?

    +

    Included: VIP Entry; A real Scottish night out!; 6 Shots; 7 Bars; and Drink Discounts. Not included: Extra drinks, You must buy any extras from the bar yourself if you wish. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
