Frequently Asked Questions

Is a food tour in Edinburgh worth it?

Absolutely! There’s no better way to experience the beautiful city of Edinburgh and its culture than a food tour with a local guide.

What is the most famous food in Edinburgh?

It’s difficult to choose with so many delicious dishes in Edinburgh, but many say their favorites are either traditional haggis or a hearty Scotch pie.

Are tourists welcome in Edinburgh?

Yes, absolutely. There’s an Edinburgh tradition, the passeggiata—the gentle evening stroll to see and be seen. It’s about enjoying the city’s beauty at a relaxed pace, and it’s a feeling we believe every visitor should experience in Edinburgh.

You’ll find the spirit of the passeggiata from locals when you connect with the city respectfully. It’s found when you support the family-run trattorias in Trastevere, help keep the ancient fountains pristine, and learn to navigate the beautiful, organised chaos of daily life. This is the authentic Edinburgh experience.

It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.

Do the tours accommodate vegetarian or gluten-free diets?

Vegetarian-Friendly Tours but vegan, gluten-free, or kosher options may be limited. Please share dietary restrictions upon booking for best accommodation. Note that tastings outside those catered for your needs are at your own risk. The company assumes no responsibility for any food allergies or intolerances.
