Guidekin's take

Old Town stories come with deliberate irreverence, swearing and offensive jokes on a private tour for your party.

The guided walk is for adults only, with up to fifteen guests, and is priced per group; moderate fitness is required. 4.98 from 40 reviews at €714 per group/vehicle for 1h 30m–2h.

In our comparison: #14 of 33 in Walking Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).

    About this tour, from the operator

    This is an Adults only walking tour of Edinburgh so no screaming kids to worry about, small groups (15 max) and plenty of bad language.

    Let us take you on the most fun and outrageous walking tour in All of Scotland.

    A walking tour with lots of History made for people who hate history.

    See and hear the stories of the old town of Edinburgh and alot of absolute bullsh** too!
