5.00This is a walking tour where you get to enjoy local Scottish cuisine from independent restaurants. It was so much fun and I highly recommend it. We loved learning about Fringe from Luanne and observing the street performers.
Wonderful experience

5.00Our group was a small group but we had so much fun! We were able to talk to each other and get to know each other (our tour guide never rushed us just so she could speak to us about our tour). It was GREAT! We went to places we wouldn't have found on our own.
Delicious and Delightful Day in Edinburgh

5.00What a terrific walking and food tour we had with our guide, Luanna, on the Edinburgh Old Town Food and Drinks tour. The guide was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the city. We experience many new foods and enjoyed the atmosphere of the city's small businesses. We would definitely recommend this tour and Luanna to other travelelers.
