A fantastic combination of Edinburgh history combined with some absolutely incredible food! Craig M.was a great guide and regaled us with countless stories of the history of the city. The food was awesome (haggis is good?!) and even though our group was larger than expected given the 11:30 guides sudden sickness, the vibes were immaculate and the whole group had a great time. What a wonderful way to experience Edinburgh.
