5.00Fantastic way to explore Edinburgh, learn a bit of its history and sample wonderful local food. Our guide Courtney was very engaging and knowledgeable, and across the different stops on the tour we got to try a good range of delicious food and drink. A real highlight of our trip to the city - thank you!
Wonderful and varied food

5.00What a great tour. The group was small so we had a very intimate time. Courtney did a marvelous job. She shared a lot of history and exposed us to Scottish food and drink some of which we had never had before. The haggis was outstanding! Make sure that you come hungry as you will leave more than full!
Great tour and guide!

5.00Good snacks to try with plenty for the whole group. Interesting history and nicely paced (not too fast or too slow). Tour guide was excellent and well informed. My only issue is that this tour is listed as wheelchair accessible but unfortunately it isn’t as there is a large set of steps to go down, hilly areas, and tight seating in restaurants that don’t seem equipped to handle wheelchairs.
Excellent food, drink and tour guide
