Tailored Premium Edinburgh Food Tour with Highest Quality Dishes
Overview

Mobile ticket
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.

5.00This was a nice way to spend the afternoon touring Edinburgh and tasting lots of food and drinks! Our guide, Skye, was great. It was a nice mix of history and tastings. I really appreciated the small group size and the pace of the tour. I attended with an injury, and was still able to keep up with the group. This was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it!

5.00I have to say this was my absolute best experience in Edinburgh. Skye was extremely flexible and understanding, and my tour guide, Nichola, was simply wonderful. She not only took me to the best local spots to have great food, but also took the time to teach me the history of each street we walked on. I had so much fun with her, as she was extremely genuine and fun. It was an amazing value for all of the food tried and the time we spent together. This was such an amazing experience. I hope everyone visiting Edinburgh has a chance to try this amazing tour!!! Thank you Nichola & Skye for a beautiful day!
The BEST food tour!

5.00Skye was a great tour guide! All of the food was incredible and family owned places. If you’re going to do a food tour, this one should be the one you pick. It felt like a locals guide to the best food not just the most viral spots with half decent food. My guide not only had recommendations for other tours/sites but knew a lot about the history of Edinburgh and explained the stories behind certain buildings as we walked along. 10/10

5.00We had a lovely afternoon strolling through Edinburgh and tasting the local food. From a long time ago and from not so long ago. Plus, the whisky, of course. We ventured into the new town, which was a first for me. A great way to spend a few hours in Edinburgh.
Exceptional experience. Highly recommend!

5.00This was a phenomenal experience! Skye was an excellent tour guide — very personable and SO KNOWLEDGEABLE about food and Scotland. He customized our tour to exactly what we wanted to explore and offered an outstanding experience. The food was delicious, a great mix of coffee, pastry, scotch, larger savory dishes and gelato to finish off! We really enjoyed the experience and the recommendations he gave us for the rest of the tour. Highly recommend this tour!
