Overview

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.
