Overview

Get your taste buds tingling on a 3-hour guided food tour of Edinburgh's Old Town, with a minimum of ten food samples. The history of Edinburgh has shaped the food eaten by its inhabitants which in turn is reflected in the city’s relationships with the world: conquest, immigration, trade, exchange, and adaptation, from Viking marauders to Italian refugees, to more recent arrivals, have all left their culinary mark on the city. And of course your guide will also point out many of the sites and hidden gems that make Edinburgh the city it is today.

What To Expect

Royal Mile (Pass By)

The Royal Mile runs through the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, connecting the magnificent Edinburgh Castle, perched high on a base of volcanic rock, with the splendorous Palace of Holyroodhouse, resting in the shadow of Arthur's Seat. The Mile is overlooked by impressive, towering tenements, between which cobbled closes and narrow stairways interlock to create a secret underground world.

University of Edinburgh (Pass By)

Old College is a late 18th-century to early 19th-century building of the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. It is located on South Bridge, and presently houses parts of the University's administration, the University of Edinburgh School of Law, and the Talbot Rice Gallery.

Grassmarket (Pass By)

Nestled in the heart of Edinburgh's historic Old Town, with stunning views of Edinburgh Castle, the Grassmarket is one of the most picturesque and lively areas of the city. A paradise of independent merchants, designers and artisans, the area is home to an array of high-quality gift, clothing and homeware shops.

Greyfriars Bobby (Pass By)

Greyfriars Bobby (4 May 1855 – 14 January 1872) was a Skye Terrier or Dandie Dinmont Terrier[1] who became known in 19th-century Edinburgh for spending 14 years guarding the grave of his owner until he died on 14 January 1872. The story continues to be well known in Scotland, through several books and films.

Greyfriars (Pass By)

Greyfriars Kirkyard is the graveyard surrounding Greyfriars Kirk in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is located at the southern edge of the Old Town, adjacent to George Heriot's School. Burials have been taking place since the late 16th century, and a number of notable Edinburgh residents are interred at Greyfriars.

St Giles' Cathedral (Pass By)

St Giles’ Cathedral, founded in 1124 by King David I, has been a working church for almost 900 years. A backdrop to Scotland’s turbulent religious history, it has seen the seeds of civil war sown and been John Knox’s parish church during the Reformation. It is still an important centre for civic services such as the Kirking of the Parliament and services for Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle.

Mercat Cross (Pass By)

The Mercat Cross of Edinburgh is a market cross, the structure that marks the market square of the market town of Edinburgh. It stands in Parliament Square next to St Giles' Cathedral, facing the High Street in the Old Town of Edinburgh

Lady Stairs House (Pass By)

Lady Stairs Close is one of the most famous closes in Edinburgh. It is home to the 17th century townhouse ‘Lady Stairs House’, which is renowned for its picturesque beauty. The house is close to four hundred years old and has many a story to tell. It was common for wealthy families at that time to live in closes, as they did not want to live in the busy main streets. Make sure you take a peek at the Writers’ Museum while you’re there. The museum celebrates the famous Scottish authors Robert Burns, Walter Scott, and Robert Louis Stevenson.

Palace of Holyroodhouse (Pass By)

No trip to Edinburgh would be complete without a visit to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the King's official residence in the Scottish capital. The palace is best known as the home of Mary, Queen of Scots – she was married here, and witnessed the brutal killing of her secretary in her private apartments.
