Please don't forget:
1 – Meeting point
Please present this ticket to our ticketing agent outside The Beehive Inn, in The Grassmarket. If you can’t spot them easily or you’re in a dash - the tour starts promptly at 19.30pm from upstairs on the first floor of The Beehive. Just like the theatre, if you're not there after 7.30pm, the show must go on…
Printed online confirmation is not required, as long as you can supply proof of purchase via smartphone or tablet.
2 – Age restrictions
Scottish Licensing laws are very strict and actually quite non-European (sorry about that).
Under 18's are not allowed to enter pubs. They can still join the tour but won't be watching the segments performed inside pubs (first and last segments). Under 25 may be asked for ID so always carry yours if you are lucky enough to look under 25!
3 – Weather conditions
Bad weather is just about the right clothing. We run in hail, rain, wind or snow, please wear warm clothing and comfortable foot wear. However, under severe conditions, our actors might cancel the tour, and your online tickets will be refunded or transferred to another tour.
Please bear in mind that no refunds are issued for late arrivals or if you don't show up for the tour.
Tickets cancelled up to 4 weeks prior to the tour date will be issued a full refund. Any bookings cancelled less than 4 weeks prior to the date will be offered no refund, but you will be able to reschedule your tour date.
