It only stands to reason that Edinburgh’s produce would be as fresh and wholesome as its lochs, glens, and mountains are. Together with our Edinburgh host you’ll explore the local food-scene. Begin your day in a cozy Edinburgh café, where you’ll fuel up on shortbread or scones before sampling some fresh produce at the Edinburgh’ Farmer’s Market or exploring Old Town’s traditional pubs and casual eateries.
Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

Had a nice experience trying foods and drink with Andre as the guide. He was quite informative about Edinburgh with some historic tide bits.
We tried hand pies from a great buttery bakery, Mor Bakehouse. We had lagers from the Jolly Judge. Andre knew of a specialty cheese shop that has Scottish eggs, but alas, they were already sold-out. We toured a bit, and then ended at the Tolbooth Tavern.....whoaaa!
Authentic pub. Started with a whiskey and then a cider....we sampled haggis, smoked salmon, goat cheese croquettes, and an interesting black pudding. Was really yummy on top of this crispy potato.
Andre was interesting and very accommodating. I recommend this tour with Andre so you can no miss tasting and drinking Scottish faire.

Had a wonderful time. We recommend this tour. It was customized on the spot for our taste and what we like. Went to places we would not have known about.

Gee was a great tour guide. Tour was very informative and a great activity to do upon arrival in Edinburgh. Since the tour is private, Gee was able to customize based on the various interests of the group. Over food and drinks, he helped us map out the rest of our stay in Edinburgh. Would highly recommend

Our guide was such a treasure trove of historical information. He went above and beyond showing us around Edinburgh. We were able to explore and learn quite a bit about Edinburgh and the history of the Scottish people.

When we showed up I have to say Adam seemed really young and I wasn’t sure how the evening would go even thought he had been in contact making sure he had every I dotted and t crossed. But once we started going we realized he was very mature, friendly and well versed in history past and more current history. He picked really amazing food stops and even got my anti haggis family to try it and gotta say, it was delicious. Well worth booking.

The tour was a great way learn about and enjoy local food establishments in Edinburgh. Our guide, Roxanna, was knowledgeable about the culinary scene and our tastes were in sync. I would recommend this tour to our friends. Scott

We booked a tour well in advance with City Unscripted. On day of tour we couldn’t get a taxi so we were delayed. Tried calling and WhatsApp our guide well in advance. No answer and no response. Contacted their main help line and only response we got is that they were trying to contact the guide. They didn’t respond to any messages after that and never gave us an update. We arrived 15 minutes late and there was no sign of the guide. Numerous messages and calls and got no response from them. Issues happen but they could have at least told us, rather than having us waiting around for a guide that was never going to show up. Extremely unprofessional. Everyone understands when issues happen but if you don’t communicate it makes a bad situation worse. Do not book with these people.

We had a wonderful time trying out various Scottish foods and seeing the Royalmile. It was an excellent way to start off our vacation. Roxanne was a lovely guide and it was fun to hear stories about the origins of the food and the places we visited

We had the best time with Gwen, our food guide. She was fantastic telling us about the foods and history. She was so sweet. We tried so many dishes and learned a lot about Scotland. Great way to start our trip.

The guide was Brian. He was awful. A nice person but socially very awkward. We've done a lot of food tours and this was the worst. He knows very little about cuisine and even less about the restaurants in Edinburgh. We bailed after 2 stops. Do not go on this tour.
