Scotland Tours from Edinburgh

Our small team is based in Edinburgh and has been putting on tours for over 25 incredible years. Our team has won numerous awards and continues to be the benchmark for 18-39 aimed tours in Scotland, with thousands of good reviews over the years.

Having a tour company in Edinburgh has some great benefits. Our tours get to start and end in a UNESCO World Heritage Listed City, one of the best preserved in the United Kingdom, where history meets modernity. Edinburgh is a vibrant; artistic city with an incredible range of food; entertainment and natural beauty. We’d highly recommend a few nights here before and after your tour to really enjoy the city.

When looking for a spot to stay in Edinburgh check out Castle Rock Hostel, High Street Hostel and Royal Mile Backpackers. Each of these award winning hostels can be booked for 10% off when you have booked a MacBackpackers Tour or you can add your pre and post tour nights at Castle Rock to your tour booking to ensure you have a bed in Edinburgh.

Make sure you arrive at least 30 minutes before your tour is due to depart to ensure you have time to sign in and pay any outstanding balances. We’d highly recommend staying the night in the city as our tours from Edinburgh leave at 8 am (Nov-end March) or 9 am (April-end Oct).
