Review of Eat Walk Edinburgh’s private food tour, with Scottish tastings, paired drinks, local history, pricing, timing, and practical tips.

“The tour was a bit hard to find the startpoint of. Was unclear that it started inside the hotell in the lobby bar. And the information on viator of what was included said us nothing. But this was a good tour. We could not have asked for more. All the things that goes with scotland was served but scottish eggs. The guide, Anastasia, was a well of knowledge and did a good job entertaining us with short stories and fun facts under the walk and interesting information about the foods and drinks.”
