Wonderful and varied food - What 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! - Good 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 - Brilliant tour around the old town with excellent food and drink along the way. Tour lead James was great in providing Edinburgh knowledge with expertise from his career in the food and drink industry. Certainly would recommend to anyone visiting Edinburgh.

Quality from start to finish - Truly worthwhile experience where the quality of the food and drinks were only surpassed by the knowledge and humour of our guide. Will be booking another one when I can.

Food, drink and a humorous host! - Took my dad on this tour as a gift for his birthday. Had a really enjoyable day sampling drinks and good food. Our guide was fantastic and by the end of it, he was a pal too! Montieth's was a highlight of the tour. 👍

wouldn’t recommend - Guide was nice and knowledgeable. Communication ahead of the tour was not clear about where to meet and timing as my tour was cancelled and then rescheduled. The actual amount of food on this food tour includes one small sandwich and a haggis ball. Maybe it’s because I booked a more extensive tour and was told to do this one was I disappointed with the food offerings. Definitely wouldn’t recommend this as a food tour though the history component was interesting. Tour that I got was significantly cheaper than the tour I originally booked and I am still waiting on the refund of the difference - though that might be a problem with the app and not the company.
