Great way to get a feel for Edinburgh - This was a great time. We had a really knowledgeable guide Alec, who not only took us for some fun food, but wove in a bunch of history and local fun facts. We asked to pop into St Giles for a photo and he immediately offered to add in some history stops if we wanted, and we very much did. The whole day was great. My only advice is maybe stop at 1 piece of fried pizza.

Food tour plus more - Our time with Alec was really well spent! We got to try some haggis and other local comfort foods. He was extremely accommodating when asked to also include some vegetarian fare for my daughter. The tour while described as a food tour was really more than that as we also got info on history and some interesting stories. Alec is very personable and well traveled. We had a great time and would highly recommend!!

Well worth it! - Alec was amazing! Great stories and information from someone that grew up in Edinburgh. Tried a good collection of food items from several different restaurants - and that was enough! Really like the stories and different tastes!

Fantastic tour!! - We tasted three Scottish dishes including haggis, pies, and a deep fried delicacy. Between these stops we were treated to a brilliant tour of sites in Edinburgh. Alec is a phenomenal guide, he explained the history, the unique geography and food of Edinburgh. I highly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour. Alex convinced a vegetarian to eat haggis - Excellent introduction to Edinburgh with fabulous rendering of relevant history. Special treat to see the knights chapel st Giles and grey friars church. We loved every minute. Not sure why it was advertised as 10 food stops.

Amazing tour guide and tour - Alec proved to be truly outstanding. We had a remarkable time exploring Edinburgh, indulging in tastings while receiving an interactive history lesson of the city. He guided us to hidden gems we wouldn’t have discovered independently. Alec’s depth of knowledge and engaging manner made the experience thoroughly enjoyable for both adults and our two children. This tour is absolutely worth your while, it is a must!

Great tour! - Our tour guide Alec was fantastic! He was very friendly and knowledgeable making the tour a memorable one. We learned a great deal about the city and saw some great sights. We did try a few food items which were very good. We were under the impression this was more of a food & drink tour and less of a sight-seeing tour. We were hoping to have more food/drink tastings at local restaurants throughout the city. Overall, we really enjoyed the tour but felt the way it was advertised was a little misleading. My only suggestion would be to edit the title of the tour and how it is advertised.

This tour operator ghosted us - Our tour guide never showed up. We met at the tour start location and contacted them in the app 3 times over 20 minutes. After waiting in the rain for 20 minutes with no word, we decided to just go to a local pub. Huge disappointment. We still haven’t heard anything from the operator. Luckily, Viator issued a full refund.
