What locals think of our Leith tasting experiences

​"I'm a local and thought I knew my beer but we found places I'd never visited and beer I'd never heard of. We were all getting on so well that things carried on long after the scheduled end of the tour. Highly recommended." Derek, Edinburgh

​"Perfect for those with little beer knowledge all the way to beer fans. We got this tour for my fathers 65th birthday - he started not being a huge fan of beer and left with a new appreciation for the flavours, this may make his coming retirement even more enjoyable." Blair, Aberdeen

What visitors are saying about our Leith walking tour

"The insight into beers was way more in depth than any other brewery tour I've been on and I think it will improve my beer experience forever more! I cannot recommend this tour enough - great for tourist and residents of Edinburgh!" Sam, Liverpool

“Top top experience" Dom, London

"Such a good tour, and our guide was knowledgeable, charming and fun. A good tour for both people who know beer and if you are just getting the taste for it." Irene, Norway
