“Issak was an amazing guide, providing very interesting historical/social information for the area, along with jokes, a quick Cockney rhyming lesson, and just an overall great time! We felt like we had a friend showing us some of the best hidden spots of the East End with stops for some of the most delicious food. Honestly, out of 6 stops, we couldn't even pick a favorite dish. Definitely come hungry and wear comfortable shoes, because you do walk a fair bit. And be sure to save room for the final stop!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 67 reviews · 1h 30m · from $28

Glenkinchie in East Lothian delivers a 90-minute whisky tour with sensory storytelling and a guided tasting of three single malts plus a mini cocktail.

“Right from the start you could tell the guide had a great knowledge of the distilleries history and it's relationship with the surrounding area. The tour was more than just seeing the equipment used in the whiskey making process with informative displays along the way. The tour guides use of humor made the tour both interesting and entertaining. The tasting at the end is also well choreographed so as apply some of the knowledge gleaned from the tour. Drivers are given the opportunity to appreciate the aroma of the tasting whiskeys before pouring them into a take home pack to try later. I can highly recommend this tour.”
