Amazing time in Old Town! - Must do activity in Edinburgh! My boyfriend and I love exploring food in new places and Emery made us feel like food professionals by the end of it. We had plenty of great bites, visited really great restaurants we wouldn’t have thought to go to, and learned a lot about Edinburgh along the way. I can’t recommend her enough and I can’t wait to tell my friends to check it out if they’re in town!

Great tour with Emery! - Awesome tour with Emery! She greeted us in a Philadelphia Eagles hat (go Birds!), so I knew it was going to be a great day :). Emery was very knowledgeable about Edinburgh and its history, and you can tell has a real passion for the city. Her narration and explanations were all very detailed, and her personality really made the tour fun. As for the locations and food itself, I enjoyed everything. The venues were all high quality with really interesting and authentic foods. The tour length of three hours was perfect (especially in hilly Edinburgh), and I highly recommend it.

Full Happy Bellies with Emery - We had a wonderful time with Emery during the three our food tour. She made amazing suggestions and the locations she took us to had food both of us loved. We got to try haggis in a new way than we ever had before and it was delicious. We were also surprised to try cullen skink for the first time and we devoured every drop. Come prepared to walk and bring an empty stomach because it is A LOT of food. Absolutely worth it!
