Locally 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.

Great experience and my favorite of my trip to Edinburgh. Skye was amazing and full of so much knowledge. He was so personal. The food was delicious with lots of pit stops at hidden non change restaurants. A++++++ Worth the money!!

Very fun food tour. Loved all the food. Skye was an amazing tour guide that gave us so much history of the city and took us to local spots that were not in the tourist areas. Highly recommended

It was the best food tour I have been on. Every time we go to a new country we like to do one. Nicola Craig was our tour guide and she was excellent. Nicola gave us the history of Edinburgh along with bringing us to amazing restaurants. The food was delicious. We had a great group too. We ended up going back to one of the restaurants for dinner a few nights later after having sampled their food on our tour. You leave this tour stuffed there is a lot of food and all delicious.
