Great Edinburgh NYE pub crawl - Well organised, great way to spend NYE in Edinburgh. Our host Ali was super fun and chatty. Super happy that they gave us shots at each bar

Ended up on a rock - We started at pilgrims with a free shot, started out pretty mellow, then headed to the nex bar and things picked up slowly, kareoke at frankenstine was when it got good, the music and the dancing at the end was the best part.

Dancing and crawling - Found a couple of great new bars to visit. Places that I would never have found myself. One with fantastic live music and dancing.

Would definitely recommend!! - The bar crawl guides were amazing, with such a good diverse group of people. As a young traveler the locations and times spent at each bar/club was perfect. Would definitely recommend!!

Very fun, very diverse - Super fun crawl! Some places didn't have enough bartenders to serve everyone in the group + the rest of the public, but the variety of venues and mix of folks attending was excellent! Didn't stay too long at any venue, and just a bit of walking between kept us from being too far gone. Will definitely be going back to some of the venues!

Edinburgh Pub Crawl - I wish I started pub crawls earlier on, it's an amazing new experience and having sober coordinators really helps getting the sheep moving to the next pub haha

A great thing to do if you have some time in the city. - We went as a couple and had a great time. We met and partied with an amazing group of people. The pubs selected were great! I had a slightly injured leg (couldn't walk properly) and was able to keep up with the group. The bars had live music, we danced ( I could sit in most places), did karaoke and lots more. The free shots in some places were just meh but in some pubs you got a shot of whisky. Sometimes you had to buy a drink to get the shot but the cheaper shots - we got before buying anything. I would go again!

Epic Night Out! - Did a solo pub crawl in Edinburgh and had such a great time! Started at a chill pub with local pints and ended at a lively spot with live music. Each stop was unique, from cozy taverns to hidden bars with quirky decor and plenty of shots flowing. A special shoutout to guides, who were super fun and really kept the vibe going (someone give them a raise!). By the last stop, we were all on the dance floor. It was more than just a pub crawl – it was an awesome way to dive into Edinburgh’s nightlife. Felt safe throughout and would definitely recommend for a fun night out! It was the BEST!
