Tour guide Diva was good craic and had a lot of knowledge about the city, good few scares, 10/10, definitely recommend
Hi Oisin, Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so glad you had such a great time! It’s brilliant to know the mix of storytelling and beer tasting hit the mark for you. We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another underground adventure soon. Slainte, The Lost Close Team
Fun little beer tasting. Our group was mixed with a couple of gin tasters, so we learned a lot about Jenevers as well as about beers. Nice way to kick-start your night.
Thanks for the lovely review! Great to hear you enjoyed the beer and gin/Jenever mix — a fun way to start the evening indeed. Emilie – Marketing Manager
Low-key, short and sweet beertasting in an authentic location. Interesting, casual and fun. Perfect when youre looking for beertasting central located, without using half the day in a brewery.
Thank you for the great feedback! We’re happy you enjoyed our relaxed beer tasting in the vaults. Emilie – Marketing Manager
We had a beer tasting with Eleonore and it was fantastic! She did our experience very interesting and I would recommend it for everyone! Thanks!
Thank you so much! We’re glad you enjoyed Eleonore’s beer tasting and had a fantastic experience. – Emilie, Marketing Manager
Great beer tasting. The Guide (Nicky) answered every very specific german question. We had a good time and the beer was good as well.
Delighted to hear you had a great time with Nicky, she loves a good question! – Emilie, Marketing Manager
Came as part of my mums birthday as she visited Edinburgh and was not disappointed! Nicky was engaging, knowledgeable and friendly - we had a fabulous time; and the cool historical setting and range of beers made it fantastic value for money! Can’t recommend enough.
So glad you and your mum enjoyed celebrating with us! We’ll pass your kind words on to Nicky. – Emilie, Marketing Manager
This was very cool! Tour guide Mark was incredibly knowledgeable and it was a great way to taste local Scottish beers in a place with a fascinating backstory.
We’re so glad you enjoyed exploring the history of The Lost Close alongside tasting our local beers! — Emilie, Marketing Manager
I came to the bar where it was the meeting point and I let the host know that I was there, and they asked me to wait for the group. I grabbed a drink and waited . It was already past 10 minutes after the beginning of the tasting and I had to ask again. Another person told me the group already left. No idea how did they miss me why they didn’t let me know , it was not announced. Finally, they took me to the place where the group was, the cave. The beers were good and explanation about them.. It was good, but that was all. I saw it was going to be more about the history of the place more than sitting in a room to drink beer. I was excited about this and I was expecting way more
Thank you for your honest feedback — I’m really sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations, especially at the start. You absolutely should have been informed when the group was leaving, and I completely understand how frustrating and confusing that must have been. We always aim to deliver a seamless, welcoming, and memorable experience from the very beginning, and it’s clear we fell short in this case. I’ve shared your comments with the team so we can address this with our hosts and ensure clearer communication going forward. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. – Emilie, Marketing Manager
Very enjoyable and we learned a lot about good Scottish beer! Also the atmosphere was great and it felt like an unique experience.
Thank you for joining us! We're so pleased you enjoyed the Scottish beer tasting and the unique atmosphere of our venue. We love sharing hidden gems of Scottish brewing history, and we're glad that came through in your experience. – Emilie, Marketing Manager
Overall an alright experience, got to test out and be given some background information on local breweries. This was the first formal beer tasting that I’ve done and felt that it perhaps could have been slightly more dynamic. However, part of that may have been because it was simply myself and one other solo traveller. The session in total lasted about 45 minutes, which perhaps seemed somewhat short.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed trying beers from local breweries and that the background information added some context to the tasting. We completely understand how the experience might have felt a bit more low-key with such a small group — the energy and conversation can definitely vary depending on the dynamic. Thanks again for joining us — and for your thoughtful suggestions! – Emilie, Marketing Manager
