Great way to experience some beers in Scotland and compare them to where I’m from (Canada!). Both tour guides were very knowledgeable and engaging.
Thank you, Thomas, for your kind words! We're delighted that you enjoyed the tour and appreciated Iain's guidance. It's wonderful to hear you could compare Scottish beers to those in Canada!
This was a great pub tour with a light version of Scottish history mixed in. Tom was a great story teller and also did a great job of expand9ng everyone's beer horizons. I think this tour is great even in addition to any other historical tour you might take!
Thank you, Maria, for sharing your wonderful experience! We're delighted that Tom's storytelling and beer knowledge made the tour extra special for you. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on future adventures!
Tom was great! He’s very friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. The walk wasn’t strenuous at all and Tom really tried to find something that everyone in the group would like. I ended up liking a few beer even though I’m not a big drinker (went on the tour for my partner). Would definitely recommend the tour & especially Tom. He also gave us some great recs for food, pubs, and things to do in Edinburgh (and around Scotland).
Thank you, Ngoc, for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and Tom’s guidance. Your recommendation means a lot, and we’re thrilled you discovered new favourites. We hope to welcome you again soon!
