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!”

“I had to cancel this event because IT IS NOT CENTRALLY LOCATED TO ANY PUBLIC TRANSIT NOR IS IT CLOSE TO ANYTHING ELSE CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL TO EDINBURGH. In my attempt to get a refund all I got was bounced back and forth between Viator the local vendor, neither wanting to assist with the refund until it was past the allowed time. All they wanted was for me to rebook the event, which didn’t solve my problem. Don’t waste your money on this event - there’s too much of Edinburgh to experience without this headache!”

“We had an amazing gastronomic tour in Edinburgh with our guide, Wag! He took us to some truly fantastic restaurants—places that were clearly loved by locals, full of character, and often fully booked without a reservation. It was such a pleasant surprise to find that each stop offered genuinely delicious food, not just touristy bites. On top of that, Wag shared fascinating bits of Edinburgh’s history along the way, which made the experience even richer. This was a standout food tour—thank you, Wag, for such a memorable and tasty adventure!”
