Delicious food, great company - This dinner felt like an intimate group of friends gathering at a "locals-only" hole in the wall restaurant, away from the other tourists in Edinburgh. Our host, Maya, was very friendly and offered interesting history and context about each course of the meal. The food itself was absolutely delicious!

Fun but too loud tour - Maya was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The food was good. But huge complaint was the loudness of the venue; could not hear half of what the guide was saying.

We had a great time.

Skip this Tour - I’m sorry to say I would not recommend this tour. Our guide had a very thick Spanish accent and it was very hard to hear and understand what he was saying - even acknowledged by him. We thought it was a bit out of place being that the entire group spoke English. In addition, he was very aloof and hardly spoke to my group. Rather he sat at one end of the table and only really spoke to that end, not coming over to ours except to rudely ask for a tip. I thought it was presumptuous and rude to walk over with a square reader asking for money, but not explaining himself. I had to ask multiple times, what am I paying for, before we finally got to the point that it was a tip. I would hope that tip went to the resturant staff considering he did nothing but walk us around the corner and babysit us. It was advertised we’d get 4 drinks, we had 3. The food was a hit or miss. I would recommend that for this cost you’d take the money, go to a restaurant, and order 2-3 courses. There was nothing that made this special or worthy of a recommendation.
