Full description

Journey through the food culture of Edinburgh on a 3-hour guided tour and introduce your palate to some authentic haggis served with "neeps and tatties" (swedes and potatoes) before meandering past the famous Edinburgh Castle.

Hear about the castle's long history and take advantage of the fabulous photo opportunity.

Next, try some real Scotch whisky as you step into a venue that serves a fantastic lowland single malt. Follow the whisky with some creamy cheeses from Scotland and then taste some genuine Edinburgh gin to learn why the Scots love it so much.

Try a secret dish, only revealed to those who join the tour! Then, end with a traditional afternoon tea, including some scones from Scotland to wind down a truly original experience.

Wonderful opportunity to finally try some foods I’ve been scared to order myself. We had a bowl of haddock soup with bread, a cranachan type dessert, a giant scone with clotted cream and jam, haggis with nips and tatties, a taste of fudge and a shot of whisky. Not a single person finished their final meal, we were so well fed! There is a lot more walking than expected, all the locations are spread out so even if you come prepared for eating make sure you wear good walking shoes.

Our food tour with Skye in Edinburgh was fabulous! Skye was very knowledgeable and presented Scottish history, local history and culinary information in a way that was interesting and entertaining. Food selections were phenomenal (come hungry!). Thanks for a great tour Skye!

Bert was a brilliant guide! His knowledge of Scottish history was impressive and humorous, and even though we were thrown every interruption possible by workmen, sirens and seagulls, he managed to laugh his way through it and never missed a beat! All the cuisine we tasted throughout the tour was incredibly tasty and had a great story behind it. At the end we had a great chat with Bert and he was able to provide local recommendations based on what we'd already done. Extremely happy we chose this tour 😊
