5.00Tamara was an exceptional tour guide. We greatly enjoyed our evening and found the food selections to be a perfect combination of sweet, savory and delicious. Each course and location was hyper local, well prepared and plated, reflective of the culture and absolutely wonderful. Each location was chic and fun; the service was grand. Tamara was fantastic! Her engaging approach, thoughtful attention to detail and interesting facts made for a fun and fabulous night.

5.00Outstanding host, excellent food, and even better stories and information about the area!! Our host (Tom) was exceptionally versed in many different facets of the area, and provided some very interesting information. Tom was very friendly and had some of the best facts and stories about the local area that we have ever experienced anywhere. The food was truly outstanding and there is nothing that I would change about our experience.

5.00Our guide Wag was excellent. Great source of Edinburgh history. Food was great, portions sizable. They will customize based on your suggestions. Beverages are also sample sized. Would have preferred the ability to purchase even a regular glass of wine while eating. Overall, was very expensive but good food and Wag was the highlight.
Great guide and food!

5.00We did a tour in Edinburgh with Wag. He is absolutely amazing. I can’t tell you how incredibly knowledgeable he is about well, everything. He is like a walking encyclopedia and fills in the gaps with fun tid bits and curtails the experience to your interests. My husband and I were with our 17 year old and he pulled him in and gave him fun facts that teens enjoy. Sara was also so helpful. We had to reschedule due to the fire at London Heathrow. We were 3 days delayed, but she worked to make happen for our new schedule. Amazing experience.
Just enough food and just enough walking made for a wonderful afternoon!

5.00If you’re lucky enough to get Wag as your guide you’ll know you’re in for a good time. A thoroughly knowledgeable guide, along with a good sense of humor, Wag kept us entertained. A special request to visit an authentic pub took us to The Oxford where famous writers can sometimes be seen. Great little cafes with authentic Scottish dishes with just enough beer to wash it down made for a wonderful experience and a great tour!
Best day in Edinburg and one of the best tours ever!

5.00Everything about our tour was perfect! To begin, Wag — our guide, was wonderfully nice, extremely knowledgeable, and able to answer the questions we had about the food and Edinburgh. The pace between walking and eating/drinking at the next establishment made for an easy stroll and provided time to learn about the city in between the food and drink. The tour was the favorite thing we did on our trip and it was worth every cent. Sara reached out to us to provide information shortly after booking the tour and we felt we were in good hands from the start. Finally, make sure to try the haggis — you won’t regret it!

5.00This was a great way to experience different types of food os Scotland. It was three different restaurants and just enough time to try the dishes and experience great food. The service was great at these restaurants. Our guide explained the different food we’re about to try. I loved each of the restaurant as they each had a different atmosphere. Also each restaurant were close together but enough to get out and walk to see a little of the town
Fabulous experience walking, eating and drinking around New Town and Old Town. Highly recommend our private guide Wag.

5.00Wag met us in our hotel lobby, which was super convenient. We walked from Haymarket, through the West End into New Town and then Old Town. We stopped at four unique and non-touristy places over four hours and had delicious and authentic Scottish dishes, ales and whisky. Ended at Sandy Bell’s for another pint and live music. Wag is very knowledgeable about Edinburgh history, architecture and culture. Wag is great company. Wonderful way to start our vacation in Scotland! Highly recommend going with a private guide!
