Get your taste buds tingling on a 3-hour guided food tour of Edinburgh's Old Town, with a minimum of ten food samples. The history of Edinburgh has shaped the food eaten by its inhabitants which in turn is reflected in the city’s relationships with the world: conquest, immigration, trade, exchange, and adaptation, from Viking marauders to Italian refugees, to more recent arrivals, have all left their culinary mark on the city. And of course your guide will also point out many of the sites and hidden gems that make Edinburgh the city it is today.
The Royal Mile runs through the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, connecting the magnificent Edinburgh Castle, perched high on a base of volcanic rock, with the splendorous Palace of Holyroodhouse, resting in the shadow of Arthur's Seat. The Mile is overlooked by impressive, towering tenements, between which cobbled closes and narrow stairways interlock to create a secret underground world.
Old College is a late 18th-century to early 19th-century building of the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. It is located on South Bridge, and presently houses parts of the University's administration, the University of Edinburgh School of Law, and the Talbot Rice Gallery.
Nestled in the heart of Edinburgh's historic Old Town, with stunning views of Edinburgh Castle, the Grassmarket is one of the most picturesque and lively areas of the city.
