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!

I survived while having fun - Great pub crawl, not too intense so was able to enjoy it till the end. Shubham did a great job once it got started, which took a while because the first pub Pilgrims had minimal network coverage. We were able to get started on time despite the hiccup and the rest of the night was smashing! Turned out more fun than I had anticipated. Made a few friends too. It was good enough that I came back for a second one a week or so later while ending my Scotland trip. 10/10 Recommended

Solo Travel - I was soo much fun. I was travelling my own and didn't know anybody. Happen to find this crawl was best thing to happen. Would advise anybody who willing to meet so many others and likes free shots.

On the Rocks Experience - Had a great time with everyone, the bars were great and the clubs as well, free entry and a free shot in each venue made it even more fun. Ballie Ballerson was probably the most hilarious one. Never knew Edinburgh had anything like it yet they did, congrats to the guides they couldn't have been nicer.
