About

Secret Food Tours Edinburgh offers a curated, immersive culinary experience that lets you wander through the city’s historic streets and uncover the real flavours of Scotland. The 3–3½‑hour guided tour takes you to five hand‑picked local eateries, from the comforting Cullen Skink at a cozy café to the classic haggis, neeps, and tatties before a kettle of cristal cream dessert – the traditional Cranachan – and a refreshing dose of single‑malt Scotch. All the stops are carefully chosen to avoid tourist traps and showcase authentic, locally‑supplied ingredients. Whether you’re a foodie, a history buff, or simply looking for a memorable way to explore the Old Town, the tour offers a relaxed, educational journey led by a passionate, English‑speaking guide. With a bookable date each day of the week, the experience is both flexible and reliable. The guide shares fascinating stories about Edinburgh’s culinary heritage, adding depth to each stop, while the group size is limited to 10–12 people to ensure a personal atmosphere. Participants can also upgrade their experience with an optional drinks package that adds two premium Scottish beverages for an extra £15 per person. All tours run from Monday to Sunday and depart at noon, so guests can start their culinary adventure right after lunch. The tour is suitable for visitors of all ages, with a free admission for children aged two years and under. Booking is mandatory and can be completed instantly on the website, while a dedicated customer support email is available for any special requests or group bookings.
