Ross was an incredible tour guide, very friendly, highly knowledgable and great company throughout the 2 hour tour.

The tour is split into 2 halves, in the first you are taken around Edinburgh at a gentle pace and told many of its secrets. Ross encourages questions and at no point was unable to answer with another fascinating tidbit. For the second half, you're taken to The Urban Fox Bar and taste a wide range of lagers, ales and stouts, accompanied by a wealth of interesting knowledge on the world of beer and what's in your glass.

A great way to spend a late afternoon or kick off an evening, cannot recommend highly enough for anyone looking to learn a bit about the city's rich tapestry and sink a few glasses of beer.

Ross was brilliant, we mucked up the meeting point and he ran across town to collect us, then guided us through the city with some interesting notes on some monuments and buildings as we went. Then delivered some bloody tasty beers. All on one of the hottest days of the year.

Cannot recommend enough, went above and beyond. An absolute gentleman and very knowledgeable beer connoisseur.

Enjoyed this tour very much & it was great learning about Edinburgh's history through its beer. Being regular visitors to the city I thought I knew (& had done a lot) about the place however this was something fresh and interesting.
Our tour guide, Mhairi, was lovely - could have chatted to her all day! Very informative & knowledgeable about the subject - seems we have the same favourite beers too!
Feel like I learned a lot more about beer & the city itself - recommend this tour as it's something a wee bit different.

Hi Debz, Thanks for the recommendation of our Edinburgh beer tours! We are delighted to hear that we were able to share some interesting facts that would surprise even regular visitors to the city. We now offer Edinburgh brewery tours if you want to learn more about the brewing process. Cheers,

We took a private tour (Leith Taproom Trail) for six of us who were in town for a birthday weekend. Our guide Jenny was full of knowledge and stories not just about the beer but also the history of brewing in Scotland and Edinburgh. We went to three venues that we would have been unlikely to find on our own, and tasted a wide range of beer styles including things we would never have thought to try ourselves. I cannot recommend it highly enough and at least one of the group is already planning a second visit with some other friends.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience on our Leith tour! So glad your group enjoyed the activity during your birthday trip!!! Very happy to hear that you liked the local pubs, the history of brewing and of course the Scottish craft beer from local breweries! Leith is really a gem for beer lovers (or anyone else!). Looking forward to welcoming your friend again with his group of friends! Thanks and see you next time!

If you like history, beer & walking - this is an absolute must for visitors to Edinburgh. This walking beer tour was for 3 adult family members & was led by Ross, who felt like the 4th family member by the end of the tour. Ross was so interesting, we learnt so much about the history of beer in Edinburgh in a friendly, fun & informative way. Tried some really tasty & unusual beers too. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Scot Beers 😊

This tour set up our ENTIRE month in Edinburgh! Sara was a super fun, knowledgable, and inclusive tour guide. She gave us a better history tour of Edinburgh than most other actually history tours and left us with excellent recommendations for beer and food for the rest of our stay. Would 10/10 recommend for anyone visiting, whether you're a beer lover or not!

Awesome Old Town Tour, Sara our Guide was very knowledgeable and told us so many intresting stories about and related to beer. The places we visited were extremely cool and some we would've never found without this tour. They served awesome, mostly scottish craft beers. Looking forward to do your other tours soon. Perfect for every beergeek.

Great walking history tour and beer tasting. Found out lots of unknown interesting bits about Edinburgh, beer related and other random facts. The beer tasting was interesting, relaxed and really good beers. Ross was really great-knew his stuff, very friendly and chatty and really made the experience. Would highly recommend.

Really enjoyed this tour! Have lived in Edinburgh for many years and learnt quite a lot of new and interesting things, all linked to beer. The tasting was good, with a little bit of everything to try so suits everyone. Our guide (Ross) was also great, very knowledgeable, fun and happy to answer our questions. Would recommend.
