Full description

This incredible tour of Edinburgh begins in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle. Our first doughnut shop is one of Edinburgh’s original shops that hand-makes incredible, uniquely flavoured donuts daily that you’re going to absolutely love. Once you’ve had your fill at our first shop, we’ll take a leisurely walk through the Grassmarket up Victoria Street, one of the most photographed and beloved streets in all of Edinburgh. Along the way, we’ll point out various restaurants, shops, pubs and other attractions you should check out while you are in Edinburgh. At our next stop near the Royal Mile, we’ll enjoy a delicious selection of chocolate, jammy, and other kinds of donuts at Mòr Bakery Followed shortly thereafter is a family-owned bakery with classic Scottish pastries that you are going to love. After a quick pause for some photos, we’ll make our way to our last stop which is a specialty coffee shop and donutterie. If the group is still up for a quick walk after all these donuts, we’ll finish the tour at the Scott Monument for a quick bit of history before calling it a day. We hope you can join us on an incredibly tasty and fun-filled donut adventure in Scotland’s gorgeous capital city. Book your tour today!

The tour was quite long and it was difficult to keep the kids engaged. The donut store was the best stop where we got to choose a donut. At the rest of the stops the food items were pre ordered and we didn’t get a choice which was a bit disappointing. I was also unhappy that the tour ended at a different location to the starting point - we were handed a map and had to find our own way back. Having never been to Cork before, this wasn’t particularly easy and we had to run to catch our train back to Cobh.

Kat was a great guide. The donuts were delicious and she also included a lot of history of Toronto. The walk was an easy pace and gave us time to prepare for the next round. She provided us with other places to taste Toronto food and there was time to grab some of that food too. We loved the tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Toronto!
