Then you'll be guided step by step through Edinburgh learning about the movie, scenes, and the history of the city.
The tour ends at the scene where Renton is hit by the car, he stop, looks at the driver and gives that evil, addicted, energetic, crazy smile as his crew runs under the bridge.

Trainspotting. It was a tightrope spud.

5.00Very easy to use and interesting. For £6 each it’s good value. My daughter and I are both fans of the movie so it was really cool to be guided around and also learn a little bit about the surroundings. All in all, very good.
