Glasgow Walking Food Tour with EatWalk Tours

My wife and I had a great time with our guide Ois (Osh). He was knowledgeable and engaging. Not only did we get a food and drink experience, but we also got some history and current affairs thrown in for good measure. The food and drink was outstanding. It was a selection of diverse treats from both the culinary and mixological world of Glasgow. I might add that, unlike many tours of this nature, the establishments we visited did NOT skimp on the portions. No,no,no….we had more than enough to eat during this delightful tour. If I return to Glasgow I’ll do it again. It was just,flat awesome!

Fist of all, the booking process and communication with Alan and Sara was excellent. My thought was that this might be a good way to get an overview of Glasgow and have an early dinner. Well, the tour with Osh was so much more than that. Our group of six met Osh just outside the Glasgow Central Train Station for a 4pm private tour. After introductions and a wee bit of history about the beautiful train station, we went for our first tasting. The steak and potatoes was both beautifully served in copper pans and delicious. The portion was huge for a tasting which was a good preview of the rest of the tour. We had haggis, tatties, and neeps at our next stop along with a single barrel-aged whisky. None of us had ever had haggis before but there were clean plates all around. We had great conversation with Osh about the history and architecture of the City Centre. Osh answered all of our many questions. Osh gave us information and insights about culture and politics that we would never had otherwise learned as tourists popping in and out of museums. At our next stop we had wonderful local scallops and black pudding with a blackberry gin cocktail. Then we stopped for local cheeses and crackers with a beer from the oldest brewery in Glasgow. The last stop was for sticky pudding and ice cream for dessert. We had a fabulous time getting to know Osh and his adopted city. Overall, we had 5 stops with plenty of food and drinks at 3 of those. The tour was an excellent value, but an ever better time.

I booked this tour for my boyfriend for his birthday, and it ended up being a private tour as no one else had booked on the slot! Our tour guide Katie was so lovely and personable, and we felt like we were walking around with a friend! She was able to tell us fun and quirky facts about Glasgow, and explain to us the origins of the food we were eating. It was a lovely afternoon and the time passed so quickly because we were enjoying ourselves so much!! Thank you so much to Eat Walk Glasgow, and to our lovely tour guide Katie!
