Edinburgh's Asian Quarter and Local Scottish Cuisine - Will was an excellent tour guide. He took us to smaller, mom and pop restaurants that gave us the opportunity to taste more of the local flavors. He was also very informative when we asked about the events and locations available to see while visiting. We highly recommend his food tour. Thank you.

Such a fantastic food tour! - Me and my partner absolutely loved the food tour! We live in Edinburgh, but Will showed us so many new gems that we’d never even heard of before. We will definitely going back to them all! We ate so much delicious food over the course of a few hours, and had such a fun afternoon wandering around Edinburgh. Will is such a friendly and knowledgeable host, and his passion for Asian food is so clear. It was a super casual and laidback tour, not overly formal or rigid – which we loved. Would highly recommend to both visitors and locals, as a fun and interesting thing to do Edinburgh!

Good value, delicious food and lovely guide - As an Edinburgh local I was surprised and excited to be taken to so many places I’ve never been to before! Loved the backstory that Will supplied for every small business we went to - it’s clear he has a great relationship with all of them. We had so much fun, and left stuffed with delicious food.

Excellent tour with great guide! - We recently went on this tour with a couple friends while visiting Edinburgh for Fringe, and I can't recommend it enough. All of the food was delicious, and the places we stopped were small businesses that deeply cared about the quality of the food they were serving. The focus was on Asian food, but the tour also included a bit of traditional Scottish cuisine. It was great to explore an area of Edinburgh that we otherwise may not have seen. But the best thing about the tour were the guides, Will and Holly. They obviously love Edinburgh and food, and they truly made us feel like we were hanging out with friends for an afternoon.

- My family and I recently went on this unforgettable food tour involving both local Scottish favourites and delicious Asian cuisine. The tour was really well-organized, with a friendly and knowledgeable guide named Will. What a gentleman! We visited a mix of traditional Scottish eateries and modern spots for the best Asian dishes. And it was more than just eating, as we also discovered the soul of the city too. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Edinburgh who wants to explore beyond the usual tourist spots!

Best food tour ever! - Will is such a lovely person and the most amazing guide. He really cares that you are enjoying yourselves and always checks in to see how you are doing. You can tell that he loves Edinburgh and also really loves good food. We had a wonderful afternoon exploring a different part of Edinburgh, with spectacular food. Highlights included the roti, siu mai, kim chi pancakes and sandwiches. The kids' favourite part was the last stop! Everything was so good I forgot to take more photos of the food before it was devoured. This tour is family friendly and makes you feel right at home. We 100% recommend it if you love food and talking to locals. We hope to be back someday! Thanks Will!

Best food tour - Book this one. Best food tour we've ever done in any city. Will was gracious and such a lovely host. It was like spending 3 hours visiting a friend in their town, eating at all their favorite local spots. The tour was full of hidden gems, and so much food. Each dish was carefully and intentionally selected for a great experience, and Will was respectful of any allergies or dietary restrictions. Everywhere we stopped, the staff was happy to see Will- you can tell he has built relationships with each of these small businesses. It's a newer tour, and worth taking a chance on. Thanks for a great experience!
