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!

Fantastic! Loved our guide Athina. She had the coolest facts about the market and city. So many things we didn’t know. The four donut stops were very unique. We enjoyed trying places we never would have thought of, and found two favorites that we will return to. My only criticism is not being allowed to get drinks after the first stop. Donuts and some kind of drink.. milk, coffee, tea, etc belong together. We found ourselves thirsty at each spot.
