Ailse was a WONDERFUL teacher, guide, companion, and friend for several hours. I was solo on this tour, and she still kindly did the tour for me as I could not change the date. I learned so much about Edinburgh's history, life in Scotland, food and cooking! Thank you for a great afternoon! Food choices were very good.

This is a walking tour where you get to enjoy local Scottish cuisine from independent restaurants. It was so much fun and I highly recommend it. We loved learning about Fringe from Luanne and observing the street performers.

Our group was a small group but we had so much fun! We were able to talk to each other and get to know each other (our tour guide never rushed us just so she could speak to us about our tour). It was GREAT! We went to places we wouldn't have found on our own.
Response from Host, Aug 2025

What a terrific walking and food tour we had with our guide, Luanna, on the Edinburgh Old Town Food and Drinks tour. The guide was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the city. We experience many new foods and enjoyed the atmosphere of the city's small businesses. We would definitely recommend this tour and Luanna to other travelelers.

This tour was so much fun! My wife and I looked at each other after it and said this was the highlight of our visit to Edinburgh. In the tour you get so much history about the city and so many great stories and see so much of the city. And come hungry because the food equals up to a large meal as you go through all the different stops. Our tour guide Luana was spectacular! She is from Edinburgh and gave us so much information that we felt like locals as we were walking with her through the city as she was pointing out sites and shops and historical places and everything in between. This is such a great way to experience the cuisine of another country. Do yourself a favor and your tummy a favor and sign up for this tour. You will absolutely love it.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
What a beautiful review - thank you David. We are so flattered that this tour was the highlight, and that you had a wonderful time with Luana. She is extremely knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond to make our guests feel immersed in Edinburgh life. We hope to welcome you on another Eating Europe food tour in the future - we're in over 18 cities across Europe!
