Great experience and intro to city - Very nice food tour. It is a great way to get an introduction into the city. Actually, it was the best food/drink we had in Edinburgh. Circled back around to one of the restaurants a few days later with friends. Highly recommend.

Book this tour! - A really lovely time with Wag yesterday morning. I learned so much about Edinburgh, had a great gradual 2 mile walk from Old Town to New Town (not 7 miles as another review mentions), and tasted great food at 4 different places.

A great way to kick off a trip to Scotland - A great way to start our trip. We did this our first day and it helped us get a taste of regional cuisine and fight our jet lag. It was great to try venison stew, haggis, ale, whiskey, and more. The restaurants were all good choices and the food was good and authentic as well. Guide was excellent and made a great recommendation for us for the next day in Leith. Highly recommend.

Best food tour ever! - We book walking food tours in every city we visit and I truly think our Edinburgh tour was the best so far! Our guide was Wag and he kept us on our toes the whole time. He was engaging, knowledgeable and fun. He shared endless historical facts and stories with us (which is what we wanted!) and the restaurants we visited were all gastronomical gems. Even the haggis was good :) We've already recommended Wag and his team to other friends and encourage anyone thinking of doing a food tour to sign up immediately!

Worth the price! - Writing this 6 hours after our tour ended and I’m still full! We started with blueberry and honey porridge, had (one of the best) almond paste croissant with a hot beverage (I had the Earl Grey Hot Chocolate but you can choose what you want to drink), a whiskey pairing with haggis (I had the veggie haggis) from The Scotch Malt Whiskey Society, and then topped it off at Whighams Wine Cellar where we had Cullen Skink (Amazing!) and Sticky Toffee Pudding (super sweet but double amazing!). Besides the food we really enjoyed the walk to the various food establishments and all the history we got of the city along the way. Russell was a fabulous guide 😀 Meeting point on Grassmarket was very convenient.

Scam - The ticket says 24 hours. That is not what i got. We leave tomorrow morning at 6am. I bought the ticket at noon. I was on the bus until 540 when we got off to look at a shop. When we came out is when we saw a sign that says 545 is the last stop. Shame on you for not putting that info on the ticket.
