Hey there! I'm Brian, your local host in Edinburgh. I absolutely love Edinburgh for its rich history, diverse food and drink scene, and accessibility to open spaces. When I'm not exploring the historic streets, you'll find me indulging in the vibrant restaurant, cafe, and bar culture of Edinburgh. There's nothing better than sharing a meal or a drink with guests and friends, discovering hidden culinary gems, and enjoying the warm and lively atmosphere this city offers. From the enchanting Old Town to the elegant New Town and the vibrant Port of Leith, I can guide you through the city's hidden treasures and lesser-known spots. So, if you're ready to embark on an unforgettable adventure through Edinburgh, let's get started! I'm here to ensure you have a fantastic time in this remarkable city. Cheers!

In addition to the old city we visited new city and some other out-of-bitten tracks. Thus, I’ve got different angle of the city.

We had such a special time with Brian on this food tour. We tried scotch, yogurt balls, fried mars bars, etc. Brian was very knowledgeable about Edinburgh and Scottish history. He took us by some of the best spots in Edinburgh. We could not have asked for a better tour guide
