Alec proved to be truly outstanding. We had a remarkable time exploring Edinburgh, indulging in tastings while receiving an interactive history lesson of the city. He guided us to hidden gems we wouldn’t have discovered independently. Alec’s depth of knowledge and engaging manner made the experience thoroughly enjoyable for both adults and our two children. This tour is absolutely worth your while, it is a must!

I recently experienced a delightful private food tour in Edinburgh, Scotland, and it exceeded my expectations. The knowledgeable guide led us through charming streets, introducing us to hidden culinary gems. From traditional haggis to artisanal Scotch whiskies, each tasting was a sensory delight. The personalized attention and insider stories made the tour truly memorable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a unique and flavorful journey through Edinburgh's culinary landscape.

Alec is an engaging and knowledgeable guide. His historical & cultural stories make you eager to learn more! He customized our tour to accommodate a wheelchair and introduced us to some new and surprisingly delicious foods! We even had leftovers. Thanks, Alec, for a wonderful experience!

We met Alec on the Royal Mile for a wonderful day of exploration and information gathering. Alec is a lovely soul, who has a great passion for Edinburgh and Scotland. He is charming, communicative and very easy to be with. We booked a food tasting tour, but experienced so much more. If we return to Edinburgh, we will definitely contact Alec. We highly recommend engaging Alec, if you want a real history of Edinburgh and Scotland

Alec was an amazing tour guide! He was very informative and took us to some of his favorite places to try some Edinburgh food staples. We had a great time touring this amazing city and trying some of the best food. Highly recommend!

WOW! This tour was worth every penny! Our tour guide, Alec, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. It felt like being walked around the city by an old friend. We visited many historical locations throughout the city and learned much about each of them. These visits were interspersed with three food stops. We tasted haggis with neeps and tatties, a variety of meat pies, and deep fried pizza. We were also able to get many suggestions for things to do on the remainder of our trip to Edinburgh. I can't speak highly enough about our time with Alec. The hours just flew by, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn about the city.

First off, Alec is a great “Local” and he showed us St. Giles cathedral and some interesting facts and trivia in that area. At sundown he took us up Carlton Hill to see the City of Edinburgh, including the Castle, all up in lights. Absolutely beautiful and we were very happy to have seen the city this way against a gorgeous evening sky. We thank you, Alec, for that special moment. However……… this was supposed to be a 3 hour, 10 food and drink, eat and drink like a local foodie tour. This sadly did not happen. We stopped at 2 places and were given 2 items each place for food, The 3rd place was a pub that we were asked to choose our beverage of choice before Alec’s time with us was over and he said his good-byes. I would give Alec a 10 rating for who he is, his personality and his caring. I’d give the providing of the paid for Foodie experience a 4 because we did not get the described items we paid for. But because of the Carlton Hill experience which was extraordinary, I rated the whole experience an 8.

More reasonable than Tours By Locals & we had a fantastic experience with Alec and our Edinburgh/Foodie walking tour!

Alec is a good guide. His knowledge of Edinburgh is excellent. He is a good communicator. We learned so much about the history, culture and architecture. However, this was a '10' tastings of Edinburgh tour. A significant aspect was to 'look through' the foodie lens. We were a little disappointed on the food aspect of the tour. Even though I am not a big whiskey fan, I was disappointed that we did not get to sample some of the Scottish treats or learn about this Scottish drink. Alec was really friendly, knowledgeable, informative and witty but not certain that the tour is doing full justice to the title of '10' tastings. The haggis was excellent but not sure that we actually received ten tastings.
