5/5 Chelsey M. 4 years ago on Google
I'm
struggling
to
keep
myself
composed
and
focused
as
I
set
out
to
write
this
review
because
OH.
MY.
GOSH.
The
Wee
Food
Tour
is
honestly
one
of,
if
not
*the
best*
things
I
have
ever
done
on
a
trip
--
not
just
on
this
trip
to
Glasgow,
but
out
of
all
the
trips
I
have
ever
taken!
In
an
effort
to
stay
organized
(because,
seriously,
all
I
want
to
do
is
gush
about
this
experience),
I'll
break
down
my
review
into
three
parts:
1.
The
Food:
The
food
on
this
tour
was
absolutely
incredible!
(I
wish
taste
technology
existed
and
I
could
attach
some
samples
to
my
review.)
I
was
excited
to
try
haggis,
but
Maddy
also
introduced
my
palate
to
three
different
fish
dishes
(one
being
a
gorgeous
pâte
at
the
Ubiquitous
Chip).
I
don't
usually
consider
myself
a
fan
of
fish,
but
these
dishes
were
insanely
delicious.
I
loved
that
there
was
such
a
variety
of
dishes
to
try;
from
mains
to
desserts,
sweets
to
savories,
such
a
wide
array
of
flavor
experiences
were
offered
(haggis,
stovies,
cheese
plates,
hot
pepper
jelly,
homemade
ice
cream,
candy,
Irn-Bru,
etc.,
etc.).
I
definitely
felt
like
I
got
the
bang
for
my
buck
on
this
front
alone,
and
that
appraisal
of
the
tour's
value
isn't
taking
into
consideration
the
two
other
parts
.
.
.
2.
The
Tour:
I
think
the
thing
that
surprised
me
the
most
(yes,
even
more
than
actually
enjoying
venison
haggis)
was
the
walking
or
traveling
part
of
the
tour.
I
went
in
with
the
expectation
that
Maddy
would
take
us
from
one
place
to
another
and
that
the
focus
would
be
mostly
on
the
food.
So,
what
a
pleasant
surprise
when
she
immediately
jumped
in
and
began
explaining
the
history
of
the
tenements
and
streets
names
in
Glasgow's
City
Center
as
we
walked
to
our
first
location!
Learning
about
the
dishes
themselves
was
interesting,
but
what
really
made
this
tour
stand
out
was
all
of
the
additional
historical
and
cultural
information
Maddy
wove
into
the
discussion.
It
was
fascinating
to
learn
about
the
origins
of
stovies
and
the
trials
behind
some
of
the
oldest
family-owned
shops.
I
feel
like
I
got
not
only
a
food
tour,
but
a
proper
historical
tour
of
the
city
itself!
You
could
readily
see
Maddy's
love
for
Glasgow
--
it's
people,
it's
history,
and
it's
culture
--
serving
as
the
supporting
structure
for
her
tour.
3.
The
Guide:
Maddy
is
.
.
.
in
a
word:
LOVELY.
(In
several
more
words:
kind,
welcoming,
warm,
funny,
passionate,
charming,
lovely
--
did
I
say
lovely?)
I
think
more
than
any
other
aspect,
Maddy
herself
is
what
really
made
this
tour
a
stand-out
experience.
She
really
went
above
and
beyond
to
make
our
last
day
in
Scotland
our
best
day
in
Scotland.
After
her
tour
ended,
she
kindly
invited
us
to
join
her
for
another
tour
(the
History
of
Scottish
Football)
and
it
was
lovely
to
just
walk
about
Glasgow
with
her
and
see
parts
of
the
city
we'd
not
have
gotten
a
chance
to
see
otherwise.
She
helped
us
navigate
the
subway
and
the
train,
made
sure
we
knew
where
we
were
going
as
we
parted
ways,
and
recommended
this
great
little
shop
where
you
can
support
local
artists
which
we
ended
up
loving
and
(legally)
looting!
At
the
beginning
of
the
day,
she
greeted
us
as
if
we
were
old
friends
in
town
for
a
visit
and
by
the
end
of
our
time
with
her
(nearly
7
hours
later!),
she
really
did
feel
like
a
friend.
I
know
that
might
sound
corny,
but
when
we
hugged
goodbye,
I
was
genuinely
sad
to
part
ways.
I
think
this
just
goes
to
show
the
level
of
love
she
has
for
her
business
--
it's
not
just
a
business
to
her,
it's
a
way
to
share
things
for
which
she's
deeply
passionate
with
other
people.
Early
in
the
day,
she
jokingly
said,
"Glasgow
doesn't
always
make
the
best
first
impression."
But
by
the
day's
end
I
felt
like
I
wanted
to
love
it
as
much
as
she
did.
And
even
if
the
city
didn't,
Maddy
made
a
great
first
impression,
and
she
kept
making
a
great
impression,
and
she's
certainly
left
a
lasting
impression.
