Reviews of Our Edinburgh Experiences

Great guide, cool and unique gin distilleries that weren’t your typical mass produced gin distilleries, and great sights of the city to see along the way.

Doug was fantastic! He took us to some obscure and very cool gin distilleries and establishments, with some Edinburgh history woven in along the way. We really enjoyed the time walking around the city, and great conversation! Thank you, Doug!

We had a great time with Michael. He is quite knowledgeable about the history of Edinburgh. He led us to some interesting places. He was quite knowledgeable about different gins and whiskeys. He introduced us to some interesting ones. He also gave us great recommendations during the tour and followed up with some others the next day.

If you are a gin lover, this is the tour for you and if you are really lucky you will get James as your guide. Once he found out where we were staying he adjusted to meet us at our hotel. We visited 3 great gin pubs and gained so much knowledge about how gin is made, the different blends, why it came to be in Scotland, and also learned a lot of Scottish history and culture along the way. This is a must do tour!!!!
