What to expect

This three-hour small-group tour offers an easy way to explore Edinburgh through its food and neighbourhoods, moving between the Georgian streets of the New Town and the narrow, cobbled closes of the Old Town.

Along the route, you'll stop at five carefully selected locations to sample a range of Scottish flavours. You'll try haggis in a way that surprises even the most sceptical, warm up over a classic Scottish smoked fish soup in the city's oldest gastropub, taste handcrafted cheeses from Scottish farm producers at a family-run cheesemonger along the iconic Victoria Street, have a sweet treat for dessert, and more.

Passing by the Scott Monument viewpoint, with sweeping views of Edinburgh Castle, Calton Hill, and Arthur's Seat, and moving through the Royal Mile, the 900-year-old spine of the city, the tour ends in the Grassmarket, where a locally beloved pub and the city's most infamous ghost story await.
