Delicious food... with a side of history! - An incredibly authentic tour of Edinburgh’s vibrant food scene! Although I have already been on multiple Edinburgh food tours, Will introduced us to some hidden gems we never knew existed. Will's enthusiasm for food is evident in his diverse selection of dishes, each proving new and exciting flavours. Will recommends these spots based on his personal experiences and has a deep understanding of each restaurant’s unique history. I would highly recommend this tour for anybody looking for some great food, whilst learning about the rich history of Edinburgh and the people who make the city what it is today!

Excellent Guide - We recently took a good tour through Edinburgh and it was an unforgettable experience! Our tour guide, Will, made the day feel like we were out exploring the city with an old friend. He was incredibly friendly and down-to-earth, making everyone in the group feel welcome. Will was also fantastic with kids, keeping them engaged throughout the tour. If you’re looking for a relaxed, informative, unique and kid-friendly experience, this tour is a must!

A foodies dream tour! Finally, food to match the beauty of the city. - My partner and I have been to the city multiple times but have never had such great food before. We love food and make it a priority whenever we are visiting a new City. We don't usually join tours but after many visits to Edinburgh and having mediocre food. We decided to book in with Will after a friend recommended his tour. It was such a fun afternoon, we felt like we were experiencing all Will's fave spots from his time in the City. If you are looking for a good food guide to Edinburgh, this is the tour.

Charming host with delicious dishes - Will is an incredibly charming and fun host. My partner and I loved every spot he took us and we had a great afternoon together. Will's love for food and the personal stories behind each dish made it a truly special food tour to remember. Thank you, Will!

Wonderful Foodtour with wonderful guides - We did this fantastic foodtour for my birthday. Will stepped in last minute as my original booking was cancelled only a few ours before. Let's say it might have been better anyway. The places we went were carefully chosen, the food we tried was special, absolutely tasty and more than enough. Will could always provide us details about the owner and the products. They even managed to get me a special sweet for my birthday on such short notice. Will and his partner are very friendly, easy going, attentive guides. We thank you and your partner so much for this experience.

A fun and delicious slice of Edinburgh - Thank you Will for taking us on such a fun (and tasty) tour of Edinburgh! A great way to see the city and a chance to eat at places we likely would never have found on our own! Will was the perfect tour guide - super friendly and knowledgeable. He kept our group well entertained (and fed!) and we’d highly recommend him :)

Great value and fun - A couple of old friends reunited in the city of Edinburgh and decided to book onto this tour. The insight to the city, culture and history impressed us all. The tour blew us away and geared us up for a great evening. A very enjoyable experience with will hosting. Make sure to ask him about his own noodles !!

Top Class Culinary Deep-Dive - Great insight in to the culinary depths of Edinburgh. Highly insightful guide and great picks overall. Would recommend for newcomers to save time filtering the huge array of food & drink choices. Also for those familiar with the city, who’d like a deeper dive in to the local restaurants and their story. 5*****
