Tour storico del caffè per piccoli gruppi a Edimburgo | 90min
Descrizione
Non c'è nessun tour come questo a Edimburgo! Un tour a piedi specifico intorno alla storia del commercio del caffè in Scozia. Inizia il tuo viaggio al John’s Coffee House & Tavern, aperto originariamente nel 1688 e un tempo frequentato da pensatori illuministi come Adam Smith e David Hume. Sorseggia una tazza appena preparata dal torrefattore di Edimburgo Common Coffee mentre esplori il ruolo delle caffetterie nella storia intellettuale e sociale della Scozia. Da lì, la tua guida ti condurrà in un tour a piedi di siti storici chiave legati alla prima cultura del caffè di Edimburgo, rivelando come il caffè è arrivato in Scozia e come ha contribuito a plasmare la conversazione, il commercio e la comunità nella capitale. Il tour si conclude con un secondo caffè al The Lost Close, un'atmosfera sotterranea nascosta sotto la città e sigillata per quasi 200 anni dopo il Grande Incendio del 1824
Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
Abbiamo accesso esclusivo a uno spazio sotterraneo nascosto, che un tempo era un caffè risalente al XVIII secolo, utilizzato da pubblici ministeri e pirati. Per la seconda metà del nostro tour, esploreremo una serie di stanze sotterranee, dove berremo un caffè e finiremo il nostro tour. Ci sono anche servizi igienici e acqua disponibili qui.
Il centro storico di Edimburgo ha una ricca storia di caffetterie, visiteremo alcuni dei luoghi durante una passeggiata. Per la prima metà del tour, saremo all'esterno ad esplorare le strette e le vie, gli stretti vicoli del centro storico di Edimburgo. La maggior parte delle antiche caffetterie sono perite da tempo, a causa di incendi o cambiamenti di affari, e daremo loro la caccia durante la nostra avventura.

This was by far one of the best things we did in Edinburgh! Our guide was funny, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. He told stories with genuinely funny jokes and a perfect amount of enthusiasm. It’s a short walk around the royal mile and a brief tour underground, learning history about both Edinburgh and coffee. Plus, you get two orders of coffee per person. The coffee is absolutely incredible, smooth and rich! Come for the coffee, stay for the stories!
So happy you enjoyed the mix of stories, history, and coffee! It sounds like you truly embraced the whole experience. – Emilie, Marketing Manager

My wife and I did the early morning coffee and The real Mary Kings Close tour. Sarah was professional, energetic and knowledgeable and Annabel at the real Mary Kings Close tour was one of the best guides I've ever seen and heard She was in character the whole time, spoke clearly and well, was humorous and professional. A true asset to the tour. Thankyou! James and Charissa. South Australia
