Taste haggis, Cullen skink, seafood, whisky, and Scottish desserts in a small-group Edinburgh food tour at a traditional local restaurant.

“Food and drink was excellent with all the scotish cuisines we were wanting to try. It was just the two of us and our guide Noam. He was freindly engaging and knowlegable of the food, history and local area. Definately come hungary as the portions were much larger than we usually get on other food tours. Highly recommend as you arrive in town and give the popular scottish dishes a try.”

Taste Edinburgh through haggis, Scottish cheese, local coffee, whisky, and city history on a small-group food walk near the Royal Mile.

“Guide was nice and knowledgeable. Communication ahead of the tour was not clear about where to meet and timing as my tour was cancelled and then rescheduled. The actual amount of food on this food tour includes one small sandwich and a haggis ball. Maybe it’s because I booked a more extensive tour and was told to do this one was I disappointed with the food offerings.
