Guided storytelling is included, but whisky requires the drinks ticket option; guests must be at least eighteen. 4.94 from 1008 reviews at €21 per person for 2h. ## Overview Our Whisky Tasting and Tales tour is unlike any other whisky experience in Edinburgh. We’ll welcome you into our cosy private whisky lounge, where you’ll sip your way through four Single Malt Scotch Whiskies from different regions of Scotland. Along the way, our guide will share stories, history, and whisky folklore in true Scottish style. Even if you’re not a whisky lover, it’s a brilliant way to immerse yourself in Scotland’s culture, traditions, and warm hospitality. The ticket price includes the cost of the whiskies (ONLY IF YOU DO NOT SELECT THE "NO WHISKY" OPTION.) 4 great single malt Scotch whiskies will be served over the tour. Drink alternatives are available upon request for those who do not drink whisky. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Tour departs from outside Café Nero on… - Starts 15:00, 17:00, 17:15: 3 departures a day - Food included: see what is included - Age 18+: Minimum age is 18 years ## Key facts - Price: from €21 per person for the Tour with no drinks included option; other options up to €43 - Duration: 2h - Rating: 4.94/5 from 1008 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 99% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Little Fish Tours ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Tour with no drinks included | €21 / person | English | - | | Whisky and Folklore | €43 / person | English | Drinks: This option includes 4 single malt whiskies for the guided tasting as part of the experience. | ## What's included - Drink alternatives are available upon request for those who do not drink whisky - Expert guide, whisky enthusiast and storyteller...all in one! - Drinks will be included in the price if guests select the "Whisky & Folklore" ticket option.
