Good food and a great tour guide! - This was a good experience with great Scottish food along with some great history of Edinburgh. Our tour guide Brendon was very personable and knowledgeable and he made the experience memorable. We were stuffed by the end of the tour so make sure you don’t eat before you go!

Worth it for visitors and locals alike - We know Edinburgh well, but this was still more than worth our time and money. Our knowledgeable tour guide had secured some great food and great stories to tell us along the way. Can highly recommend either to visitors totally new to Edinburgh or those like us who already know it well. Slainté!

Brilliant Edinburgh Food Tour - We had a brilliant time on the Edinburgh Food Tour with our guide Cameron seeing the sights of Edinburgh and tasting a wide range of Scottish cuisine and drinks. Serving sizes were VERY generous. Cameron had a great sense of humour and all the stops we tasted food and drink were great - in fact we went back to some of them again after the tour. Thanks Cameron and Taste & Tour for a great tour.

Totally recommended! - I visited Edinburgh with friends and had an amazing time on Edinburgh food tour with Cameron. The variety of food and drinks on the tour was brilliant and it was great to have someone with so much local knowledge show you around the city. We were all looked after really well and nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend booking Edinburgh Food Tour!

Best way to see the city! - This was my first time in Edinburgh and the tour was a great way to see the city and hear stories I otherwise would have missed. Lots of great food and enjoyed the combination of modern food, stories about the produce and people behind it as well as the history of each area. Highly recommend!

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.
