Edinburgh Old and New Town Tour
The three-and-a-half hour Edinburgh Old and New Town food tour explores both the medieval Old Town of Scotland’s capital and its elegant Georgian New Town. Don’t be put off by the name New Town, yes the Old Town does date back in part to the 1100’s but the New Town dates back to the 1700’s so is worth a visit.
There are five food stops en route, three of them with a drink tasting. All of the stops have been carefully chosen not only to highlight Scotland’s iconic food and drink but also because the venues are much loved by local residents. This food tour takes you off the tourist trail.
As well as delving deep into Scotland’s natural larder, the Old and New Town food tour illustrates Edinburgh’s past and present; its history and the day-to-day reality of 21st century living in such a historical city.
Guests will be given audio headsets so you can listen live to the guide as you walk at your own pace or stop to take photos. Tour size is limited to 8 people so you all get a chance to get to know each other on the tour.
The Edinburgh Old and New Town food tour takes place Monday to Saturday at 1pm and Monday to Thursday at 5pm. Private tours are available at other times.
The Canongate Brunch Tour
Eat Walk Edinburgh also offers a mid-morning tour of the Canongate, the lower half of Edinburgh’s fascinating Royal Mile.
The Canongate tour stops at a mix of eateries, bars, and shops. Visiting local shops provides the opportunity to meet local shopkeepers, who love to chat about their produce and have some tasty samples to try.
Weaving between venues, the tour visits some of the (intriguing) nooks and crannies that are a feature of Edinburgh’s historic Old Town. The guide will explain the local history and stories of these lesser known sights
