Well done tour filled with historical information, good company and great food and drink. Alan is very knowledgable about all things Scottish and takes you to places you'd unlikely find on your own. More

This was my first trip to Edinburgh but our group was made up of first-time visitors, a frequent visitor, and a resident. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Alan is a wonderful host and guide. He has an excellent knowledge of the history, architecture, and food of the area. His manner is gracious and open and his anecdotes added color to... More

We did this tour our first day of our first trip to Edinburgh. I say "first trip" because both my daughter and I would love to come back. This tour was terrific. Alan is personable and knowledgable. The places we visited and the foods we tasted were nice and the geographical and historic anecdotes were entertaining, educational and memorable. We... More

We rearranged our schedule to take this tour and it was well worth it. I have been to Edinburgh on a number of occasions visiting family. This is the first tour that I have taken and I learned so much. Our guide, Alan was very knowledgeable. He chose foods that were local and had meaning, including oatmeal encrusted herring and...

My partner and I stayed in Edinburgh for four nights, arriving on the Friday. Sunday we did the inaugural Edinburgh Rock 'n' Roll half marathon and thought we'd celebrate by doing this 'Eat Walk Edinburgh' tour afterwards. Unfortunately it wasn't offered on the Sunday (although we weren't too upset by that) but we did manage to book in at late... More

I have lived in Edinburgh for a number of years but went on this tour because my sister and her friends were visiting Edinburgh and booked us on it.

Myself and my sister spent a very enjoyable afternoon with Alan. The tour gives an historical account of the city whilst visiting quaint and quirky food and drink establishments, off the beaten track.. We started in the old town and three and a half hours later ended up in the new town, having being enlightened by the city's interesting history... More

Unfortunately we booked this tour for our last day in Edinburgh. While we thought this would be a good way to finalize our time in the city, in hindsight we wish we had actually done this on the first day. The tour guide was very informative and the tour itself took us all over the city - both the old... More
