About
Please book direct on our website. The Wee Food Tour, Glasgow's original, award-winning food tour, welcomes guests from all over the world to join us for a multifaceted Scottish food experience. Covering the West End, East End and Merchant City of Glasgow this immersive food tour will visit six independent restaurants and shops, many who have been feeding Glaswegians for over 100 years. You will sample 20+ foods and snacks all made, produced and eaten here in Scotland with an emphasis on Glasgow's food scene. Come try haggis that is still made in-house daily at a local culinary institution. Let us show you where Anthony Bourdain introduced the world to Glasgow's comfort foods. Let us tell you why our food and history are still strongly linked with immigrants and the British Empire. Tours run Wednesday to Saturday all year round. We promise to leave you with a full stomach yet hungry for more of this incredible city. Looking forward to meeting you soon to Let Glasgow Nourish!

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My son and I were lucky enough to schedule the Wee Food Tour very last minute. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the food at 6 different establishments. So delicious! Maddy provided a lot of Glasgow history and facts that we were not aware of. Most importantly, we had fun! Maddy was very personable and professional. I would highly recommend this tour for every age and particularly foodies!

Fantastic! Maddie is lovely and she did an amazing job of taking us around the city. The foods were excellent. Make sure you go hungry because the portions are generous for a tasting tour. This food tour is quite unique as you walk and use the subway so you get to different areas of the city. Definitely do this tour!!!!

If you do nothing else in Glasgow, do this tour! Madeline was so well versed in all things Glasgow, history, food, and especially art. It was a special in-depth treat to spend the afternoon with her. We knew we were in for a special treat when she took us off the beaten path and handed us a train ticket! Why see touristy areas, when you can eat and see all the beautiful things of Glasgow. We had picky teenagers with us, and Madeline was quick to pivot and accommodate their diversion to all things seafood and haggis (there was even a vegetarian version to try!). We appreciated this day so much, and I believe she even sparked the desire to attend Glasgow university with our teenager and wealth of art, history, and social information of this area. Thank you!

We did the tour today with Maddie and had a marvellous time tasting traditional Scottish food and sampled a lot of local favourites. Maddie made the tour interesting with a bit of history and knowledge about the areas we visited and the small businesses. Would recommend this tour.

A great tour and a great time. Maddie obviously cares about the food, her adopted city and the fantastic local establishments she takes you to. It is like visiting her friends because that is what they are. Totally worth it.

Best day with Maddie! She is a gracious host. We had trouble finding out meeting spot, she ran down to where we called her from to help us. She has so much knowledge of Glasgow, the food and the people. All of the places we visited had a personal touch and loved talking to us. We would come recommend her tour 100 times over! Thank you, Maddie, for making us feel at home.

A bit of history and culture mixed in with local food tastings. The whole experience was relaxed, casual, and enjoyable. I highly recommend.

This was so much more than just a food tour, and everything about it exceeded expectations: sampling great food (of course!); discovering off-the-beaten-track places; patronizing truly local establishments; seeing parts of the city we wouldn’t have visited otherwise; experienced the subway and taxis as means of venturing further afield; and perhaps best if all, meeting and getting insights from the amazing Maddie. Top-notch all around.

We had a fabulous day with Maddie. We visited several different types of establishments. The food was varied and interesting. We learned about Glasgow. We traveled around using the “underground“ and taxi. But really, the best part was getting to know Maddie. You can tel, she loves her adopted city. She has a great relationship with the owners and workers of the various places. We just loved our time with her.

I’m bringing my elderly grandmother back to Scotland for the first time since she left her homeland in 1950! She has arthritis and is not able to walk long distances, would this tour be suitable for her? It sounds amazing!

Maddie had us take several forms of transportation - underground, taxi, uber and walking. However, my wife does not walk well so Maddie was very accommodating,
and we only walked once for about 2 blocks

The tour I took was 4 hours of wonderful food, history, and sights of the city of Glasgow. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Tour starts at 11 am and goes until just after 3 pm with lots of food along the way. Everything is paid for in your tour price including transportation. Great deal.
