Great host Nikki and fun outing - The tour was great! Nikki our guide was so amazing, she talked through where we were going and gave us little facts on the way about York itself, she got stuck in with getting to know everyone and made us all feel very at ease! The tour took you to four different places and the portions varied in size, but after was left stuffed. A drink at each place to from a cocktail, sirian tea, wine and a coffee ...what more could you ask for! We live just outside of York , but it was great to go to different places we may not have gone to before.

Opportunity to educate our taste buds - Thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Our guide Kay was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed her company very much. The sample menus were all delicious and encouraged us to come out of our comfort zone . Would highly recommended this experience.

Highly recommended walking food tour - We can highly recommend this walking food tour. It was just the right balance and as we were a small group it worked perfectly. Our guide was knowledgeable & engaging and wove history & culture into each stop. We visited a thoughtfully curated mix of 4 local gems—ranging from family-run eateries to tucked-away places that most tourists would never find. Every dish we tried was delicious. We will definitely re-visit all of the places we went to. The pacing of the tour was perfect: enough walking to build an appetite between stops, but never rushed or tiring. We left full, happy, and with a deeper appreciation for some of the independent eateries in York. Highly recommended!

Adaptable tour for mobility issues and friendly guide. Beautiful food! - We attended as 2 support workers accompanying a man with a mild learning disability and mobility issues, using a 3 wheel walker. The tour organisers were was very responsive and helpful prior to the tour, reassuring us that they will accommodate us as much as they can. On the day, Kirsty was very friendly and comfortable engaging with the man we support. He had a blast! We sampled food from around the world which was lovely. À wonderful experience all round. Thanks again!!

Great tour - Wonderful tour of York's food scene. We tried places we wouldn't have known about. Guide had to slow her pace to accommodate us slower walkers. She should to not start her information until everyone is able to hear her. Overall, very good, informative and very nice.

Fun going to places we wouldn’t have known or been able to find - Great food selection. Guide adjusted her pace when asked, would have been a bit better if she talked towards the group. Interesting route with fun facts about York
