These private tours are a little different to most other tours in Edinburgh. Each of the tours are led by two local guide, who scoot around in Mini Coopers, visiting the hidden gems and local sites most other tourists don’t usually see. They have a selection of tours for you to choose from, may it be a quick two hour tour or four hours with lunch or dinner, a trip to St. Andrews or maybe even a private whisky tasting in one of Edinburgh’s finest venue. You eat at one of the best local pubs in town too with fresh ingredients, locally sourced produce and the result is a full belly and a happy smile.
Fancy a chance to stretch your legs while with the Mini Mack brothers? No problem, they go to areas such as Duddingston Village, Dean Village, Calton Hill, Arthurs Seat, Scotland’s oldest pub or maybe the secret garden where the locals don’t even know about are all jam packed into your own personal experience of this beautiful city. The goal is to experience Edinburgh like a local and once you have been on a Mini Mack Tour with these two local guides, you’ll have lots of stories and photos to show your friends and family.
