Slow paced tour covering not only food stops but historical locations and references as well. Nichola is a true Scot and provided a fun, educational tour. She was warm and welcoming and very knowledgeable.

If you enjoy tidbits of information about the city, as well as eating, then this is a great tour. The establishments we went into were not crowded and our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the city as well as talking about what we were eating!
