5.00They explained traditional Scottish food, desserts and whiskey with explanations of the city's strategic points. Nicole was very concerned about me and always cared for me as I took a tracking pole with me on the hilly walking tour. Thank you for the attention to the bad footing and the wicked roads. Thanks to this, I was able to have fun to the end. One thing I would like to hope for is that you will give me some time to take pictures in the city. I fully understand that it will be completed within the scheduled time. The traditional dishes and desserts were very delicious. It was a very satisfying tour. Thank you for taking a group photo.
Sight-guided food tour around the Royal Mile

5.00I walked around four stores, although it may vary from guide to guide. There was only one restaurant for meals, two for desserts and one for whisky tasting. You didn't have to be good at English. However, they ask me a few questions along the way, so if you don't understand English at all, it's hard. He explained the tourist attractions and recommended various shops, so I think I would have enjoyed it more if I knew English. Also, I wasn't sure where to meet him as it was written on the notice, but it was near the western entrance to St Giles Cathedral. Carlos, thank you for sending us a list of the shops you visited and what you ate after joining the tour.
Wonderful tour with a brilliant guide

5.00My sisters and I did this brilliant food tour with Carlos (or Martha!) and had a brilliant time! Good food and drink with a funny and knowledgeable guide. Carlos was very conscientious of allergies and made adjustments where possible. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this tour to everyone!
