1.Edinburgh Food Tour with Scotch, Haggis, a Secret Dish & More

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,172 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $134Our pick

3-hour Edinburgh Old Town food tour with haggis, neeps, secret dish and Lowland whisky, guided by local foodie experts.

“All the food was very tasty. Started with the cullen skink . A very hardy, flavorful soup. The haggis was well prepared, similar to a shepard's pie without crust. The Chranacan was delicious, was prepared like an ice cream. Tried 2 whiskey that were both good. Finish with scones at a bakery. They were just ok. More like a biscuit than a scones. Not enjoyable after whiskey. Overall a nice experience. Several dishes were shared and still, portions were just way too large.”

We visited many historical locations throughout the city and learned much about each of them. These visits were interspersed with three food stops. We tasted haggis with neeps and tatties, a variety of meat pies, and deep fried pizza. We were also able to get many suggestions for things to do on the remainder of our trip to Edinburgh. I can't speak highly enough about our time with Alec. The hours just flew by, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone…”
