Food & history tour
William_G, May 2024
Our guide, Fran, was incredibly personable and full of knowledge about the foods we tried and the city itself. She took us to places we would have just passed by or wouldn't have noticed, but ended up loving . Would absolutely recommend!
Amazing trip with Fran!

Excellent tour to try local food and drinks!
Duane_K, Apr 2024
What a great tour! Fran was excellent and provided us great history about the areas of both old and new town Edinburgh as we went to the four locations. I highly recommend this tour!

A really lovely time with Wag yesterday morning. I learned so much about Edinburgh, had a great gradual 2 mile walk from Old Town to New Town (not 7 miles as another review mentions), and tasted great food at 4 different places.
Fantastic food tour
gvgzbfqgmh, Apr 2024
Food and locations were excellent and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and personable during the whole of the tour.
Best food tour ever!
Jennifer_H, Apr 2024
We book walking food tours in every city we visit and I truly think our Edinburgh tour was the best so far! Our guide was Wag and he kept us on our toes the whole time. He was engaging, knowledgeable and fun. He shared endless historical facts and stories with us (which is what we wanted!) and the restaurants we visited were all gastronomical gems. Even the haggis was good :) We've already recommended Wag and his team to other friends and encourage anyone thinking of doing a food tour to sign up immediately!
Scam
David_W, Apr 2024
The ticket says 24 hours. That is not what i got. We leave tomorrow morning at 6am. I bought the ticket at noon. I was on the bus until 540 when we got off to look at a shop. When we came out is when we saw a sign that says 545 is the last stop. Shame on you for not putting that info on the ticket.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi David - thanks for confirming this review is for a different business. Glad you enjoyed your tour with Mhairi. We've asked Viator to help you post this review on the business profile it relates to. If you can figure our how to update this review, please do. I've asked Viator to reach out to assist you as well.
Highly recommend! Fran was great!
TrishT, Apr 2024
This was a great tour. Fran, our guide, was very friendly and informative of the places she took us to and also explained a lot of the history and development of Edinburgh. We went to 5 places. The first places were more like samplings, but the last place was a hearty lunch and I was full. The tour was a nice selection of places and I liked everything we ate and drank: parritch (oatmeal) with wild blue berries, macaroon, tea, cider ,mac and cheese, fish and leek soup, brown bread and butter, haggis with mustard cream sauce, sticky toffee pudding and ale. We visited Old Town and New Town. Highly recommend!
How to Enjoy Edinburgh
Charles_S, Apr 2024
This is a wonderful tour. The guide, Sara, made it feel more like a group of old friends she had invited to share her town going out for a great experience. She set exciting expectations for the good food and beverages in store and then exceeded them by drawing on her knowledge of the history and culture of Edinburgh and Scotland. The food was great, the beverages perfectly matched, the talk charming and informative, and the walk leisurely. Best way to spend an afternoon in Edinburgh.
Great experience with Ian!
Erin_G, Apr 2024
Ian was a great guide for this tour! He gave us so much information on the history of the city and recommendations for other places to go. Highly recommend!
Great experience
Jane_N, Apr 2024
Sara was a delightful guide. Enjoyed the history perspective as well as the history of the delicious food. Highly recommended this tour.
Ian was a great tour...
Marlene_H, Apr 2024

Great food and drink experience in Edinburgh
Bradley_M, Apr 2024

Edinburgh’s Great Food Hits and History
Jessica_G, Mar 2024
Wag was an amazing tour guide. So knowledgeable about the city as well as the food. A lovely way to get to know Edinburgh and eat and drink well on the way. Wag also was so flexible and accommodating when part of our party ran late arriving, which was just above and beyond service that we so appreciated.
Would highly recommend
Angela_W, Mar 2024
Had a great time walking the old and new town. Iain our guide made it enjoyable with his lively stories and great knowledge of the area, food, history and all things Scottish! We learnt heaps! The food and drink choices were great samplers of varied Scottish cuisine and all very yummy. You should definitely do this early in your visit as it’s such a good overview.
More of a city tour than a food tour.
DEBRAA_F, Mar 2024
This was our third Viator food tour, and the least memorable in terms of food culture. It was an excellent city tour, we walked approximately seven miles, and our guide was very knowledgeable and enjoyable, but by comparison to other tours the actual food experience was lacking. The tastings were limited- 3 small food bites, and 1 whiskey taste. It wasn’t what we expected.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi Deb. We've been adjusting the menu with venues changing their menus for the new season and it sounds like we didn't get this right for you. Thanks for sharing your feedback and we'll take it on board as we refine things further.
I highly recommend the food and drink, it’s awesome
Crystal_M, Mar 2024
Fran was awesome. She told us so much information about the country and about each of the foods that we were tasting. She was so personable. She had a love for Scotland and all things about it. It was cold but she did not try to rush any part of it.
Interesting, informative and fun
Gary_H, Mar 2024
An excellent evening spent learning about Edinburgh history and sampling some amazing locally sourced food and drink. The other people on the tour were friendly and inclusive, which made it all a wonderful experience. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.
The perfect way to tour Edinburgh.
David_B, Mar 2024
This tour was everything we hoped it would be. My pregnant wife and I were looking for a crash course in Scottish history with frequent stops for nibbles. We lucked out and had Iain as a tour guide. He was charming, witty, and an expert on all things Scottish. He answered every question we asked during the tour. All of the local food we tried was excellent. I highly recommend this food tour and Iain as a guide.
Wags rocks!!!
James_j, Mar 2024
Wonderful tour. Our guide, Wags, was fantastic. Great local cuisine and history. Would do it again in a minute.
