5.00We loved our tour with Madeleine! She was so sweet and knowledgable, and showed us around some great spots. A good pace, stopped for some coffee, and our favorite was the whiskey tasting at the end of the tour.
Well fed and well entertained!

5.00Our lovely guide Nichola made our afternoon highly enjoyable, with great stories and great food. The tour provided a 3 course lunch plus afternoon tea as well as whisky tasting, so it was well worth it. A food tour should never leave you hungry and this definitely delivered on the deliciousness.
Fun rainy day!
