5.00We walked to Old Town, The Royal Mile, and to the edge of New Town - down by the train station. Each stop was filled with great food and/or drink and interesting stories and/or historical information. Our guide, Craig, was a kick! Knowledgeable and made a point of starting fun conversations.
Food and Guide (Nysse) were wonderful!

5.00The Secret Food & History Tour was an outstanding experience! Our guide- Nysse- was both informative and entertaining. And the food (and drink) stops were all excellent. I was especially impressed with the Haggis, Neeps & Tatties at our first stop, as well as the tea & scones at the end. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you have Nysse!
Great tour with Carlos

5.00Edinburgh is a lot of walking, but our guide Carlos was very careful to he sure we all kept up. Stopping to taste gave us ample rest periods. Carlos was extremely friendly and professional. We are both over 80 and enjoyed the food and narrative.
Fun and delicious!
