Old Town Edinburgh is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The tour travels around the Old Town to some of the best restaurants and cafes in town. Many of the restaurants and stops we visit are in the Old Town.
2h 15mThe Royal Mile is the center of Edinburgh's Old Town. The street actually has five names, but we'll cover that on the tour. We will spend roughly 15 minutes on the Royal Mile seeing some of the highlights between restaurants and cafes.
15 minMore accurately known as the High Kirk of Edinburgh, we will pass by and cover the history of this beautiful church.
Pass by, no stopA tribute to Sir Walter Scott, this gothic monument was once the tallest monument for a writer in the world.
Pass by, no stopThe tour will either have views of Edinburgh's 250-year-old New Town, or we will visit amazing establishments in the New Town.
2hLocally owned and operated, this is not your average food tour. We visit exceptional restaurants and other stops serving superior-quality food. Our guides are some of the most experienced in town. We're different because every tour is unique.
We don't visit the same stops every day, we have better relations with the establishments, and we can also cater to unique requests from our guests. We never use chain restaurants or tourist traps, and we can guarantee you will leave our tour full.
We will also highlight all the other top places to dine in town. After all, you need to eat three times a day, so knowing what and where to eat is essential to an enjoyable vacation. As such, our tour is suitable for everyone. We also accommodate most dietary restrictions, except for vegans.
Don't settle for a food tour that uses chain restaurants and tourist traps serving microwaved food, without care for its guides, guests, or restaurants, and that prioritizes drinks over food. Join us instead.
