Guidekin's take

Cheese tastings, cheese facts and a quiz give this Edinburgh food walk its focus.

Tastings and a guided route are included; it is unsuitable for lactose-intolerant guests, and bottled water and hotel transfers are excluded. 4.66 from 250 reviews at €46 per person for 2h 30m.

In our comparison: #21 of 21 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
