Embark on a guided journey to uncover the key landmarks and rich history of Edinburgh's Old Town. End your tour in a restaurant to try all the Scottish Classics, from fish & chips and haggis to cranachan, and learn the history of these famous dishes.

Experience the perfect fusion of history and culinary delights with our Old Town Historical and Food Tour, offering an immersive exploration of Edinburgh's past alongside delectable Scottish treats.

Begin your adventure by getting picked up from your hotel or a central location in Edinburgh, then delve into the hidden corners and lively atmosphere of Grassmarket. Against the striking backdrop of Edinburgh Castle, our guided tour unveils intriguing tales, including a stop to savor traditional Scottish cheeses.

Next, venture down the Royal Mile to St Giles' Cathedral, an awe-inspiring medieval marvel. Marvel at its architectural splendor and delve into its rich history, including a visit to the Thistle Chapel and its beautiful stained glass windows. Along the way, explore the Royal Mile's narrow closes and wynds, each with its own fascinating story, while enjoying additional tastings of Scottish delicacies.

Conclude your tour with a memorable dining experience at a carefully selected restaurant, perhaps even a haunted pub. Indulge in an array of classic Scottish dishes, from hearty haggis to succulent salmon and crispy fish and chips, topped off with the delightful cranachan dessert. Throughout the meal, our knowledgeable guide will regale you with tales behind the dishes and offer the chance to participate in a pub quiz.
