Best food tour of Edinburgh - We go on food tours all over the world. This was one of the best. We sampled real Scottish food including haggis (actually pretty good), meat pies, beer, cider, skink soup (like a very good chowder). Our guide, Alisa was outstanding, very knowledgeable, very engaging. If you come to Edinburgh, this is the best food tour. And you see both the old town and the new town.

A must do experience - This tour was outstanding! I was very excited as there were things that I had never tried before. Everything was delicious and I loved hearing about the history of different things around Scotland. Ailsa was our tour guide and she did a phenomenal job. I would highly recommend this food tour, especially if there are things that you’ve been wanting to try that are local to Scotland. It’s a wonderful way to take a little memory of Scotland home with you.
