Sunday Beer Tour in Edinburgh - Joined this tour after running into the owner of the company in Edinburgh Castle. We were able to book on for the tour the next day where Gary, the beer genius, would lead us around the city and its beer history. Never have 3 hours flown in so quickly. Everything about this tour was perfect, the beers, the history, the anecdotes, the locations, and the guide. I honestly don't think there was a question that was left unanswered by Gary. Do yourself a favour and book this, it was by far the best thing we did in Edinburgh, even my non beer loving partner enjoyed and Gary even found a beer that she likes!

Beer tour with Gary - Great tour with Gary! He really knows his stuff! Really cool that we got to visit some places we never would've found ourselves. Also great value for money, we sampled 8 beers, not little sips either, proper sized beers! My beer loving husband loved this tour too!

Great afternoon with great beers - Just finished an incredible beer tour experience in Edinburgh led by the amazing John! Definitely a five star tour! I'd make it ten if I could! From the beginning, John's passion for beer was infectious. His friendly and laid-back vibe instantly made us feel at ease, like hanging out with a knowledgeable friend. John's knowledge of Edinburgh's beer scene blew us away. He took us to hidden gems we'd never have found ourselves. But it wasn't just the places; it was the stories John shared that made the tour exceptional. And the beer! We sampled a diverse range, from traditional ales to experimental craft brews. At the end John stayed around for a while and gave everyone great recommendations. If you're in Edinburgh and remotely interested in beer, book a tour with John. Trust me, he's the real deal - knowledgeable, fun, and an absolute blast to hang out with!
