Fabulous food and company! - What a fabulous and delicious tour!
Our guide Maya was so incredibly friendly and very knowledgable about the dishes and the history behind it all. It was like eating with a friend, chatting and tasting all the finest foods from Scotland. I would definitely recommend it and I would take this tour again on our next visit.

Culinary discovery - Excellent tour and guide, very cozy restaurant and delicious food!
We were able to taste a little more of the city than we are used to fast food etc.
Country dishes meats,fish whiskey wines..
As for the price I think the experience is worth it since eating in that country is already expensive!!
Without hesitation the day we return we will repeat!

Excellent Food Experience in Edinburgh - What an experience! I've never done anything like that before and I'll repeat it. We were a few Spanish friends, I am from Barcelona and we were recommended on tours in Edinburgh. I love Edinburgh is a city with a lot of history what I didn't know was that it also had its gastronomic side! I never imagined you could eat so well in Scotland. The Lucas guide was very friendly and we loved his explanation of every dish and drink. I who am a person I love to learn loved knowing all those curiosities. We also met Joan who is part of the team, super friendly and treated us super well! We did the gastronomic experience but I know they also do tours and the truth that we will have to try it! Since I know that everything is fresh produce and that can vary according to the fishing or season, I will have to try it again! A 10 to the haggis hunters team I loved! And thank you for everything!

A very original experience - I found it a very interesting and original experience. Very enriching, where I got to know the gastronomic culture of the country. The food was exquisite, the drinks very good quality. The amazing dessert, and the place, lovely and very cozy, cin excellent service. The guide, Lucas, gave us a tour of the history of Scottish gastronomy of the most complete, and we also had the possibility to interact and ask questions; also to share our own experiences, making the evening very interesting and entertaining.
I thought it was a unique way to explore an essential part of any culture, its gastronomy.
In general, a very enjoyable experience, with a very professional guide while close and a great quality in the dishes and in the accompaniment of the guide.
I recommend it, without any doubt

A wonderful tour - Loved the experience! The guides were very nice and informative and the tour was not heavy. We learned things about Scottish food that we would never have known if not for this tour. I found it a very pleasant and enriching experience. Also, the restaurant had a very cozy atmosphere and the food was delicious, I loved all the dishes, especially the soup! It was one of the best I've ever had. I think anyone who is interested in learning about authentic Scottish culture and history should take this tour.

Experience in Edinburgh - Excellent experience. Super recommended if you want to explore the flavors of Glenfiddich 12, 15 and 18 years. Recommended if you go with your partner, family or friends. Lucas the truth that took care of us and taught us everything we needed. We'll be back!

Superb gastronomical and historical experience at the mythic city of Edinburgh - A delightful experience, both historical and gastronomical. Our tour guide met with us at the heart of Edinburgh city, and after an amusing and curious explanation of several facts and stories, we were guided to a hidden gem in Edinburgh, a traditional Restaurant and Cellar where the experience continued. With a highly cured selection of dishes and matching drinks coupled with their history and curiosities we were guided through the typical gastronomy of the place, from the beginnings of human civilization up to current times. Our guide was excellent and kept us entertained while also allowing for the more curious of our group to interact and ask questions and share stories.
Overall, an excellent experience where both gastronomical and historical expectations were surpassed with enriching interactions. Highly recommended.

A tour that exceeded my expectations - At first, I was a little dubious about spending £99 on a food tour, but now I feel it was the best thing I could have done in Edinburgh. This tour perfectly combines Scottish cuisine with a unique cultural experience.
The tour offers five courses and four drinks, all delicious and with an impeccable presentation. However, what really made the experience special was Lucas, our guide. With his knowledge and storytelling, he led us through the origin of each dish and its place in Scottish history. It was a completely different way to enjoy food, not only eating, but understanding everything behind it.
The best thing is that I felt that every detail was designed for us to enjoy it to the fullest.
The day before I went to a typical restaurant and I found it very expensive. Honestly, there's no point of comparison. Here you pay not only for food, but for the whole experience, and that is worth much more.
If you're thinking about doing it, don't hesitate for a second! It’s an experience worth every pound, and one I’m sure I’ll remember as one of the best moments of my visit to Edinburgh.
