A fantastic afternoon tea experience with Jesus as the guide who was an incredibly personable and engaging host who is a brilliant storyteller. He brought the history and atmosphere of Edinburgh to life in such a natural and memorable way. The views of Edinburgh Castle were stunning, and the food throughout was excellent. A relaxed, well-paced and genuinely enjoyable experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!
Excellent experience and learned a lot about the history of tea. Jesus was fantastic, interacted with all of us, and made the experience even better with very engaging conversation. I tried the earl grey and rose teas which were pretty good.
Great experience! I really recommend. Jesus was a great guide

Jesus was a wonderful guide. The venue was lovely and had a whole back story, which Jesus explained. Not only did we learn about tea, but he went over the whole history of the monarchy. We really enjoyed it. The tea and food was very good as well.
We're delighted you enjoyed hearing the story behind the venue and exploring both the history of tea and the British monarchy. It's wonderful to know you enjoyed every part of the experience. — The Haggis Hunters Tours Team
