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.

    Nichola was our tour guide and she did not disappoint. She was very knowledgeable about the area as well as the food we were eating. It was a rainy day, but it did not deter us from having a great time on the trip. I highly recommend this food tour.

    (Side note to tour planners: The Cullen Skink soup at Kings iV is not good. The rest of the food on the trip is good but I would definitely remove that from the tour. It starts the tour out on a bad note.)

    We really enjoyed the tour and were so excited to be able to learn how to make our own Chocolate bar. The tour was very informative and well worth doing.

    Nell is a wonderful woman. If you are looking for an authentic Scottish experience and amazing food this is a great experience. Our food was delicious and easy, simple instructions and we were greeted with a drink. It was so nice to be in her home and feel welcome. Thanks for a great time and great food.

    Brilliant tour around the old town with excellent food and drink along the way.
    Tour lead James was great in providing Edinburgh knowledge with expertise from his career in the food and drink industry.
    Certainly would recommend to anyone visiting Edinburgh.

    Have been to Edinburgh many times and had many afternoon teas but this one was unique and well worth doing. U r on an old London bus going round some of the main Edinburgh sights whilst having a very good afternoon tea with Prosecco. If you want something light hearted and different then this along with Helen who narrated and served along with her hubby is the experience to do. Thanks

    We loved our beer and pub tour with Sara. She was very knowledgeable about beer in general and beer-related Edinburgh history. Word of caution - if you’re as impressed as us and really want to show your appreciation in the form of a tip, she might slip away and pull an ‘Irish goodbye’ at the last pub.

    The venue was perfect and the set up was very comprehensive. Our cocktail expert, Robert, was very knowledgeable and made the experience thoroughly enjoyable with a great mix of information, interaction and humour. I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Edinburgh and the Love Gin brand is very tasty 😋

    Had an absolute blast on this tour! The size of the group makes it quite the casual experience. Our guide was lovely and we had a great time both chatting about cheese and adjacent topics (like other cheeses). It's not my first time on this tour so I personally knew what to expect but the experience was fantastic all the same. If I lose my savings to gratuitous amounts of cheese then so be it, I've accepted my fate.

    This is my second time on the crawl and it got even better!!! Tom was such a great host and the bars were all good and lively even on a Thursday! You start with a Jager bomb and drinks discounts from the get-go…

    This is one of the best bar crawls I have done in the world, including LA, Vegas and even my own in East London!

    Tom will take care of you and will even give you a ‘William Wallace ESC’ speech at the start of the do’s and don’ts as well LOL!

    You won't need to pay a cover charge to any of the venues you visit on the night!

    I will be back at the next Edinburgh Fringe and will happily recommend this to anyone I meet during and after!

    'Slainte mhath' you rockstar Tom!

    We booked Alec for a food tasting tour around Edinburgh old town on a busy Saturday. Alec was extremely friendly, polite, approachable and knowledgable.

    It was great to hear tales of bygone era as well as from Alec’s own childhood in the town. Many of the historical sites we visited we may have just walked on past and not fully appreciated but Alec really brought the history to life.

    I wouldn’t recommend eating anything prior to your tour as we were well fed (the Greggs lorne sausage being a highlight).

    Thanks Alec for sharing your knowledge and for being a top tour guide.

    Absolutly amazing experience! Neill took us through everything we needed to know to start composing our own gin. It became very easy to design a gin that suited me. Will do it again!
