Take a 2-hour walking tour of Edinburgh Old Town, learn whisky-making history, and taste four premium regional whiskies. Led by an English-speaking guide and whisky specialist, this small-group tour offers an intimate, hands-on experience.

For whisky enthusiasts, this 3-hour experience includes four regional malts, a deluxe blend, and a 7-dish Scottish menu in Amber Restaurant. You also receive a crystal glass and a year-long Scotch Whisky Appreciation Society membership.

If you’re going for a combo, like the Palace of Holyroodhouse + Silver Tour, Edinburgh Dungeon + Silver Tour, or A Taste of Scotland dining experience, plan on 2 to 3 hours.
