About Mountebank Tours
Mountebank Tours is an Edinburgh-based tour company offering comedy-led experiences that combine live stand-up performance with local history and whisky tasting. The company presents the Mountebank Comedy Walk of Edinburgh, billed as Edinburgh’s only comedy walking tour, led by a professional stand-up comedian and running for over two hours. That walk guides guests through iconic city sites while delivering a mix of humour and historical context.
In addition to the comedy walk, Mountebank Tours runs the Mountebank Comedy Whisky Tasting in Edinburgh. This tasting is hosted by Daniel Downie, described as an award‑winning comedian and historian, and includes Brahan the dog as a charming tour presence. The whisky tasting pairs storytelling with sampling: participants sample four drams while learning about whisky’s history and production through a comedic lens.
Mountebank Tours positions its experiences for people who want entertaining, informative outings rather than conventional sightseeing. All activities take place in Edinburgh and emphasize live performance, approachable history, and curated whisky sampling. Guests can expect guided commentary delivered by experienced performers, a focus on memorable storytelling, and hands-on tasting elements where listed. Information about each trip, including durations and what is included, is provided in the trip descriptions to help guests choose the right experience.
