I booked this tour for my husband and I after having lots of fun on another beer tour in Belgium. We ended up being the only people on the tour that day with our guide, Fran. Fran was knowledgeable about Edinburgh history and beer, introducing us to different styles that we normally wouldn’t drink in the US. Also, although we thought we knew lots about beer, we learned loads! Since it was the three of us, we were able to get to know Fran and had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend the tour! Thanks, Fran!

Wag was amazing and taught us a lot about the history of beer from Scotland. It was a fun day walking around the city exploring bars and meeting new people.

We did the beer tasting and old city walking tour with Wag. He was a wonderful and hugely informative guide as well as lots of fun. We loved sampling so many of the local beers and learning about the brewing process and the local history. It really was a unique experience. This tour was a delight and one we would recommend highly. When we come back to Edinburgh we shall book a food tour and hope to get Wag as our guide again.

This was a lovely tour, very entertaining and informative and unique, I highly recommend it. Not only you get to try different and new kinds of beer that you might have never heard of, you also get to know how they are made, and how is all of that connected to the history of Scotland.

Wag was our tour guide and was extremely knowledgeable about brewing, beers, history of the area, and history of area beers. He was lots of fun and personable and I learned a great deal! We would take this tour again in a heartbeat! Wag also gave us some other pubs to try with a wide range of beers to test which we followed up on and once again it was a smashing success.
