Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Michelle was the perfect guide for our group of 3 sisters touring Edinburgh. She is very knowledgeable about the area and local legendary lore. We had a great time....a lot of laughs, some really good local food and got our steps in for the day at the same time."
"We wanted to see and taste Edinburgh from someone that lives there daily and we were not disappointed. Great Whisky at Great Locations with Great Music! Chris catered to our interests, gave us great historical facts and was truly awesome! He also gave us great restaurant recommendations to experience later in our trip! Thank You Chris for giving us an unforgettable experience! "
"Chris truly went out of his way to answer all our questions and tailor the tour to our specific interests. He was personable and gave us a true taste of Scotland's traditions in food and drink. We all had a delightful afternoon with much laughter. "
"Chris was charming and our family group enjoyed the tour very much. He was kind to our picky eaters and spent extra time with us making sure we got to see a lot of wonderful things. Highly recommend as a nice introduction to Edinburgh."

"Michelle was over the top amazing! We were delayed by about 15 min in meeting up with her due to navigating Edinburgh as it was very crowded with festival folks. She was patient and very understanding. (-: Our ten tastings tour really gave us a great intro to Scots food and culture and even included a dram of whiskey and a dish of haggis! Michelle is extremely knowledgable and personable and we truly enjoyed our time together. "
"Chris was absolutely wonderful!!!! I would highly recommend him. He is a 10 for sure!!!"
"My family is still raving about our walking food tour with Chris! He is very knowledgeable about Edinburgh’s history and took us through various neighborhoods we would have otherwise missed. Along the way, we stopped at local establishments and tried delicious Scottish foods. He even accommodated our allergy requests. Book this tour now, you won’t regret it!"
"Alex was a wonderful host who had some incredibly interesting stories and insights about Edinburgh. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys a bit of of history interlaced with a glass of whiskey along the way!"
"Chris was an excellent guide for our food and walking tour. He customized the tour for our family of four, which included a 13 and 10 year old. He provided some great history of the city and the food while guiding us to several great local places. Great tour!"
"Despite the rain (after all it is Edinburgh), Alec showed us interesting historical sites and bought us lovely treats. I even ate haggis, even though I never thought I would. It was delicious! I especially appreciated how Alec tailored the tour to our interests. For example, he took us to the University of Edinburgh because I told him I had a special interest in colleges. Hire Alec for a wonderful, fascinating day!"
