Excellent tour. Alex convinced a vegetarian to eat haggis - Excellent introduction to Edinburgh with fabulous rendering of relevant history. Special treat to see the knights chapel st Giles and grey friars church. We loved every minute. Not sure why it was advertised as 10 food stops.

Amazing tour guide and tour - 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!

He customized our tour to accommodate a wheelchair and introduced us to some new and surprisingly delicious foods! We even had leftovers.

Edinburgh through the eyes of a local - 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

Incredible Walking Tour of the City - 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.

Alec is a delightful person……. - 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.
