Allan was an excellent tour guide! Very knowledgeable and witty. He offered good whisky history as well as local context. We had a great time being led around the city and being introduced to some cool local bars. We were sad to hear that our tour would be the final one ever to be conducted, but we were so happy with our experience and Allan made our day!

Very nice tour through different parts of Edinburgh, visiting 5 pubs with various tasting experiences.

This was a great tour, so worth the time. Allan, our host, was friendly, engaging, and very knowledgeable. The tour took us to five different stops and he highlighted the subtleties in each flavor and drink, all while connecting to the histories and stories within. The best part of the tour was that Allan was just as engaging between your stops, filling us in on the history of Edinburgh and what makes it special…architecture, music, etc. It was a level of unexpected depth on the tour that made it memorable. Take the tour. You won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic and well curated tour! An afternoon well spent walking through several areas of the city. Enjoyable for whiskey pros and novices, and a great chance to explore some less prominent establishments. Gabriel was a delightful, knowledgeable host.

We thoroughly enjoyed our whisky walking tour of Edimburgh. Allan was a great tour guide, quite a gentleman - very informative and friendly. We learned a lot about the whisky producing regions and methods as well as architectural history of the city of Edimburgh. Highly recommended!!!

Fantastic tour! We learned so much about both whiskey and the city. Allan was a wonderful tour guide. He was brimming with pertinent info and fun stories. Highly recommended.

We LOVED our tour with Gabriel! He was so friendly, fun, and knowledgeable. Whether a whisky novice or an experienced aficionado, there was so much value in this tour and I cannot recommend it enough. It was a superb exploration from New Town through Old, and we learned more than expected and saw spots we could not have found on our own. Fantastic day, and I would encourage anyone who loves whisky, or is curious about whisky, to do it.

Hearing about the development of the various whisky products. Personable tour guides...Great way to spend an afternoon!

We scheduled this tour for the afternoon we arrived. Our guide, Alan, was on time and very engaging. His knowledge of the area and Scottish whiskey were a ton of fun. It was just two of us with him on the tour and the personal nature made following along easier and he was able to cater to all of our questions.
