Brilliant afternoon!

Hannah_B, May 2025

My sister and I went on this tour and we had a wonderful afternoon. There was plenty of great food and we went back to a couple of the places the next day as we liked them so much. Our tour guide Ieuan moved us around the city without rushing us and not only taught us about Cardiff, but led the conversation so that as a group we had a good time together. I would definitely recommend it as a good, tasty afternoon activity and a great way to see parts of the city you wouldn't necessarily see.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Many thanks for your lovely review and recommendation. I'm delighted that you enjoyed the tour and then went back to some of the venues. We only work with small, independent businesses so it's great that our guests continue to support them. Ieuan is a great guide - we're lucky to have him as part of the Loving Welsh Food team. Diolch yn fawr.
