5.00My Grandchild and I had a great time getting to taste the food of Edinburgh. Our guide was really knowledgeable and made it a fun time for the four of us on the tour. We went back two more times to the cheese shop we visited because the cheeses and meats were fantastic. If you like food tours I'd highly recommend this one!

5.00A five stop tour was going very well until the last stop vendor closed early! Was the tour ruined? No, tour leader Emery expertly pivoted and salvaged the day. She displayed a level of knowledge and preparation that placed this tour above the rest, happy to recommend highly!
A good taste of Scotland
