For 25 pounds per person, you get to try so many exciting new fancy cheeses! Also knowing good local cheese businesses. The cheeses were so delicious . Sarah was knowledgeable and informative and paced the tour well with fizz and each cheese. Would highly reccomend.
I would say the tour is about 1.5hrs really.

A delightful way to spend an afternoon around Stockbridge, a little village just off the main Edinburgh city centre with its own local shops and businesses.
Our guide Kristel was very knowledgeable and fun! She took us to 4 different cheesemonger shops to try around 10 varied kinds of cheese and other delicacies the cheesemongers would provide on the side, like fresh bread and crackers. We also had prosecco to pair with one of the cheeses.
The reason I liked this tour was that it supports local businesses and it takes place in an area many tourists wouldn't go to. The cheese shops had many prestigious ingredients for sale you wouldn't find at a big supermarket chain, at an affordable price.
Would definitely do it again with family and friends as she also suggests what cheese are suitable for specific dietary requirements (pregnant, dairy-free [I know!]), etc

Booked under the guise of ‘come hungry’ …. Exciting tour etc etc etc
Well ….. if your idea of eating well and experiencing Scottish cheeses is standing outside four cheese shops next to a dusty, noisy busy road and watching a tour guide get his knife out roadside … cut cheese he had just bought and pass out mini squares with no gloves , no change of knife and the odd charcoal cracker from a packet - then this is the tour for you !! 😂😂
Whoever owns this tour should be ashamed at £35 a head . The saying of the ‘tour’ (four times ) - ‘line up against this wall … the shop is too busy”.
Save your money !!!! No seats …. No relaxation …. No real interesting info …. Just poor .
Xander - nice guy but guessing his hands are tied as an employee .

Fabulous tour in Edinburgh. Kieran was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. He made the effort to talk to everyone on the tour and you can tell he enjoys taking the tours. The cheese was delicious and it was nice to learn a bit of history about each shop on the tour and experience types of cheese we hadn’t tried before! At one of the stops we were also given some Sauvignon Blanc to try with the cheese which was a nice extra. Weather was cold but dry, recommend wrapping up warm as the tour is mostly outside. Overall a fantastic tour and something a bit different, would definitely recommend!

Me and my hubby was in this tour today, our guides were awesome. Monique and Claire were the best. It was so nice to know the places where we can get the best quality cheeses, breads, wines, paté and more!
I highly recommend this tour whether you are a fellow local resident or just visiting the capital, totally worth your time and value for money.

Exceeded our expectations. Kieran guided us expertly through Stockbridge cheese shops, providing some superb selections to sample.
There was time to browse in the shops and purchase after each stop and tasting.
We were very lucky with superb weather, surpassed only by the charm, chat and knowledge of Kieran.
Highly recommend this gentle meander through a great area, sampling fantastic cheese and getting a wee sit down at the end (hopefully in the sun when you visit) for some wine.
Would love to see the Cheese Crawl offered through weekdays, as ideal for a team day out.

Great tour through some of the lesser known parts of Edinburgh and historic cheese shops. The tour guide Kristel was very knowledgeable both about the history of the city and the cheeses. We got to try generous portions of very interesting local and international kinds as well as a glass of bubbly! Thank you Kristel!

Our guide Xander was lovely and very knowledgeable about the cheese and the history behind the cheese makers.
However, we felt for 4 x £35 to walk around three shops, stand outside of one to taste 1 lot of cheese and sitting in the park eating little chunks of cheese and drinking wine out of plastic glasses was not good value for money, nor was it comfortable.
We were expecting a little more - like a seat in a warm room to be served some cheese and drink wine from a proper wine glass.
A bit disappointed at the experience that was made easier by our guide as he was friendly and interesting to speak to.

Kieran was amazing. So personable and welcoming it almost seemed like a tour with friends, straightaway!
He selected great cheeses and was extremely knowledgeable - making the tour more than just a cheese sampling.
And here’s the kicker…while my wife is a ‘cheese’ person (hence why I booked the tour), I have always been a bit indifferent…not too into cheese. After this tour, I feel I know more what to look for and actually appreciate cheese more!
Anster, Gubbeen, Prima Donna, and others…delicious!
Thanks, Kieran!
