Helen was excellent and friendly. Great food and drink and interesting conversation. Viator is very accommodating. We were running late and were able to send a message and they communicated back to us immediately.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Hi Louis. Many thanks for your kind words. But I must point out that Viator is just a reseller platform. Liverpool Bites food tours were the accomodating partner here. You booked our tour and it is always us (Liverpool Bites) who do all of the work. We just use Viator as a platform to sell our tours. I'm delighted that you guys enjoyed the tour. It was our pleasure to host you.

Great!!

We had a great tour with James. High quality food and wine and knowledge of Liverpool's history. Spiced up with fun things we didn't know we were wondering about. Highly recommended!

Response from Host, May 2025

Thanks a lot for the review. I had a great time with you all and I'm really pleased you guys enjoyed all of our great food and drink stops. Thanks for coming along.

We had a private walking tour with Charlotte. She provided us with a lot of historical facts and we went to several pubs and restaurants. We really enjoyed the different foods. Charlotte was a great guide.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thanks Judy for the kind review. It's fantastic to hear you enjoyed your tour of Liverpool with us and all of our food and drink offerings. Thanks for coming along and supporting our amazing local food scene.

Even Food Critics Frequent

Paul_W, Oct 2024

We've been to Liverpool numerous times, mainly limited to shopping, however we decided to make a long weekend in the city to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We'd recently been on a food tour in Harrogate and thought we'd try another. Great way to get your city bearings and doing the tour on day one meant we found some hidden local gems that even food critics frequent. (see later). Our host James was excellent, well informed, jovial and true passion for local economy support. We'd booked based on his responses to some of the reviews (witty, matter of fact and polite). The origins of each restaurant stop was explained and that added to the experience. We met at Bluecoats, which was a quiet hidden gem, where we sought sanctuary from the hub of Liverpool One. Unfortunately Scouse was not on the menu, but we weren't disappointed. A short walk to Lunya for a snack and then a brief walk to lunch and onwards. Further hidden gems followed and a "marmite" (love it or hate it) moment at a fantastic restaurant (that you might well pass by) owned by two brothers, whose savoury doughnut invention will test your senses. We loved it. We also hoped that Tom Parker-Bowells (food critic for the Mail) also approved?? On both tours we've met some lovely like minded "foodies" (mostly from Belfast, we must go there next - maybe James can branch out?). We all had different favourites from the tour which is a testament to the variety of food sampled and the city itself for offering it. Thankfully we had a guide, otherwise we'd have probably stuck to the more well trodden food emporiums. Simply excellent.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you so much for the kind words. I really enjoyed meeting you guys and showing around some of our favourite vendors. I found out on the tour the following day that unfortunatley only we were able to enjoy the "savoury doughnut" as we'd had it prepared especially for us. Tom ordered it but he hadn't called ahead. I'm sure he enjoyed the rest of his lunch though as it's a fantastic little spot and they look after everyone so well. Again, thanks a lot for the kind words and for choosing us to show you guys around. I hope the rest of your anniversary weekend was good fun.

Enjoyable afternoon!
