Top 11 Food & Drink Experiences in Britain

1.Scottish Highlands Tour with Whisky Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 628 reviews · 9.5 hours · from $63Our pick

Review of Rabbie’s Highlands day tour from Edinburgh, with Dunkeld, Black Linn Falls, Queen’s View, Pitlochry, and Dewar’s whisky tasting.

“This was an incredibly interesting and worthwhile day trip. Pete Shaw was our guide. I’m going to add, he was the best tour guide/driver we’ve ever had. It was a great convenience not having to drive around ourselves as we are unfamiliar with the area. This trip brought us to the towns & distillery we wanted to visit. Pete added many interesting facts and stories, and shared his music with us as we drove. The towns we stopped in were hospitable and Pete offered recommendations and pointed out the restrooms. There was ample time to explore and take pictures. An absolute great experience!!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 123 reviews · 3 hours · from $122Top rated

Explore Brixton through African and Caribbean food, Black British history, local stories, markets, and a generous three-hour tasting tour.

“This was hands down the best tour I’ve ever been on. Obi was our guide, and he made the entire three hours in Brixton unforgettable. It was my first time visiting, and from the moment the tour started, I felt like I was with friends I’d known for ages. The food was incredible—every stop was delicious—but what really stood out was how much I learned. Obi grew up in Brixton, and his knowledge of its history, especially the Black history that shaped the area, is unmatched. He’s an amazing storyteller who brings the culture and history to life in a way that’s fun, engaging, and never dull. If you’re visiting…”
