A must for all foodies - Had a very enjoyable informative walk around Saffron Walden with our guide Rachel. She is very passionate about food & history. We were treated to the most delicious locally made/sourced food. The business owners were very friendly and it was very interesting hearing their stores of how they arrived here. I will definitely be back to visit more of the wonderful eateries of Saffron Walden.

Excellent food tour in historic, vibrant Saffron Walden - Thoroughly enjoyed Rachel’s food tour of Saffron Walden. Rachel is a delight, friendly and knowledgeable and although we shop fairly regularly in the town she showed us some shops and cafes which we didn’t know existed. All the venues and food tastings were impressive, from a wet fish shop, to a wonderful baker and a chocolatier. It was great to meet the hardworking and dedicated owners and staff and with its many vibrant independent businesses we can understand why Saffron Walden has been voted the number one place in the UK to live.

Day trip from Cambridge - If you go to Saffron Walden from Cambridge, it's likely to see St Mary's, the lovely, huge Perpendicular wool parish church included in Simon Jenkins' "England's Thousand Best Churches." Saffron Walden is also an ancient market town, full of wonky old buildings, where saffron was grown to dye wool yellow during the later Middle Ages. Rachel, the tour leader, is knowledgeable about the commercial history of the town and the old shops and markets, some with pargeting. The result is that you get a very good walking tour of the center of the town with a nice lunch along the way. Of the food establishments visited, the chocolatier, Hill St., is outstanding.

Hello Food tour of Bishops Stortford - Just been on a Hello Food Tours tour of Bishops Stortford - a 3 hour amble around the town, learning about its history and culinary heritage from the past and now. Explored (and tasted) a wide variety of foods from various cultures, while meeting and hearing the stories of the independent owners who have the passion for their food business. A very nice long lunch, and recommended.

Fantastic experience - The tour was a gift and totally surpassed our expectations (which were already high!). Rachel was a mine of information and as well as introducing us to some delicious local food, she had some really interesting information about the town. It was my husbands birthday the day we did the tour, and all the places we stopped wished him a happy birthday.......he was thrilled! We would recommend the experience unreservedly!
