      On an Edinburgh night tour, it’s easy to feel like you’ve stepped back in time.

An Edinburgh night tour with a local guide will let you experience the after-hours pastimes of the people who call the city home. Whether you decide to club hop, bar crawl, enjoy a sit-down dinner, or stargaze at the Royal Observatory, the things to do in Edinburgh at night are unforgettable. Simply tell us what you want to do, and we’ll take care of the rest.

      Pick a place to suit your pace

      Every traveler’s idea of the ultimate night out is different, so an Edinburgh night tour with City Unscripted will always be 100% personalized. The city’s diverse districts have something for a certain type of night owl, and we’ll plan your night tour in an area that suits your style. If you want drinking and dancing, the Cowgate area with its live music, quirky speakeasies, and electrifying clubs is a must-visit. But if you prefer your Edinburgh night tour a little more low-key, you could head to George Street’s elegant cocktail lounges or the late-night shops on vibrant Princes Street.

      There’s something spooky about the atmospheric Scottish capital, and in Edinburgh at night, there’s a definite chill in the air. An Edinburgh night tour is the perfect time to discover the city’s pagan past, creepy ghost stories, and unnerving tales of mystery and murder. If you’re feeling particularly brave, you could learn about the real-life inspiration for Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and see the sites of old witch trials, or turn your experience into an Edinburgh haunted tour at the city’s historic graveyards and underground vaults rumored to be plagued by restless spirits.

        I was so happy and impressed with Cameron! He tailored my tour to exactly what I was looking for. I also learned so many unique things while still seeing the main attractions. Additionally, he is quite nice to be around and makes you feel very comfortable!

        Fedor made our day in Edinburgh a memorable one. Coming from a cruise ship, it was an about a 25-minute bus ride to the city. The communications with Fedor prior to our arrival made it easy to find the meeting location and almost immediately we found him. It was obvious Fedor had lived in the area for some time. He was very knowledgeable of Edinburgh’s history and customs. His walking tour was conducted at an easy pace, and he did not hesitate to stop so we could purchase a coffee, a sevener or take some photos. Thank you, Fedor, for a wonderful tour.

        We had the pleasure of exploring Edinburgh with Calcedonio during a half day private tour. He took us on an amazing walking tour of the the old and new town while pointing out important sights along the way. His tour was very thorough and intriguing. Because of him, we will likely visit Edinburgh again!
