We meet on the iconic Royal Mile by the eminent Scottish thinker and drinker Adam Smith. It is then a short walk to one excellent whisky bar that we use. We have the entire upstairs area reserved for us, ensuring lots of space for the group. During the course of two hours we will sample four outstanding Single Malt Scotch Whiskies from the four major whisky producing regions of Scotland. We will discus some of the history of Scotland and explore the reasons as to why whisky is now so ingrained as a staple of Scottish culture and we have some great tales from Scotland and the world of whisky to share with you. Other things to note This tour departs promptly and we can not wait for guests who are late. You must meet us at our start point at least 15min before the tour departs to secure your space. People under the age of 18 are not permitted on this tour. This is due to licencing at the venue we use.

We'll start off with our 1st beer and a tour of our building, a 16th Century prison and courthouse. We have some original features untouched for hundreds of years. We'll make our way down to the hidden vaults under our building, where you'll try a selection of 4 other local beers in the most hidden tasting room in Edinburgh! Along with learning about the beers from an expert guide and the history of brewing in Edinburgh, participants will get to see the secret rooms hidden in the old prison, as well as stories of prisoners who were held here, the dark and grimy history of Auld Reekie, and how beer shaped the way we live our lives today. Other things to note Please be aware that the vault is accessed via about 20 steps- there is no lift/ramp access to the lower level. Check-in with reception staff at The Hostel above

Come ready to laugh your wee socks off and mind and bring your best banter :) (PLEASE NOTE: this is a comedy tour aimed at adults with some adult themes and jokes. I’m Scottish and swears are just punctuation marks here.. Suitable for ages 16+) (PLEASE NOTE: I have a Scottish accent and use Scottish words on the tour, so fluent English is necessary to enjoy the tour fully) (PLEASE NOTE: I sometimes have to take my mega friendly dog Brahan aka 'The Bonnie Prince' on the tour, he is the softest, friendliest dog in Scotland but if you have any issues with dogs and would rather he wasn't on your tour please let me know)

IMPORTANTE: Los tours en español están disponibles pero solo bajo petición. Únete e a David, Jule, Eden y María mientras recorremos la hermosa ciudad escocesa de Edimburgo tras los pasos de J.K Rowling. Desde sus pobres comienzos, hasta que se convirtió en la autora multimillonaria más famosa de nuestros tiempos. Nuestro recorrido está preparado para todos: personas que viajan solas, familias, fiestas de cumpleaños, fiestas infantiles, equipos y eventos corporativos. Para eventos especiales, puedes preguntar por nuestro tour premium. Primero, haremos nuestra propia ceremonia seleccionadora para repartir tanto a los Muggles como a los Magos presentes, en las cuatro casas de Hogwarts. Durante el tour habrá una competición: un trivial de Harry Potter ¡al final veremos qué casa es la ganadora! Luego, comenzaremos nuestro recorrido por Edimburgo utilizando imágenes y panorámicas manteniendo así un ritmo fluido y accesible para todas las personas independientemente de la velocidad de su conexión a internet. Te mostraremos los lugares que inspiraron a JK Rowling, como, por ejemplo, la escuela de la que se cree que surgieron las casas de Hogwarts, las tiendas que con un toque de magia se convirtieron en Callejón Diagón, el cementerio donde se esconden los nombres originales de algunos de sus personajes y mucho, mucho más… A lo largo de la ruta, te hablaré sobre las historias que inspiraron algunos de nuestros personajes favoritos y las ideas más mágicas de JK Rowling. Finalmente terminaremos comparando los puntos obtenidos durante el juego, para ver qué casa de Hogwarts es la ganadora. Si hay un personaje del que quieres saber más, no seas tímido ¡avísanos! También debéis saber que damos puntos extra a la casa de aquellos que se presenten disfrazados. Si no encontráis disponible un horario que os interese, por favor enviadnos un mensaje y vemos cómo podemos solucionarlo.
