From the guide

Welcome to the fairy tale of a city that is Edinburgh! Be it sunny, rainy or foggy; this city has captivated every
single person to ever set foot on it. What better way to explore its mysteries than through our shared love of
food?

On our Secret Food Tour: Edinburgh, you won’t just eat delicious dishes — you'll also dive into the history
behind them, gaining a true understanding of Edinburgh’s thriving culinary scene.
You'll explore the historic Old Town like a local and taste the dishes that we here love most.

As a private tour, everything works around you! Our start times are much more easy going, dates can open up. It's a much more intimate and cozy experience. No need to shout over other tourists, you will have every question answered, and leave feeling like a native yourself!
