Very interesting and engaging tour. Mark was very informative and good fun. Highlight were the halloumi tasting at Pupa and the grilled cheese at Northern Sould.

We really enjoyed the cheese crawl, it was a great way to celebrate a birthday. Mark, the tour guide, was very knowledgeable and kept the afternoon interesting as well as fun (competitive questions for the teams we had formed). We tried delicious cheese and wine from various locations - we would definitely recommend this!

A walking tour through Manchester with an experience tour host, you get to sample cheese, cheese, cheese & wine more cheese & wine and then cheese.
It's great.
Bring comfortable walking shoes.
There is not always seating available at all stops.

Not to be missed! I recommend going with an empty stomach as there is plenty of delicious food on offer! Mel (Babymel) is great. She made the experience really fun and enjoyable. We had a lovely group and we all had a great laugh. My daughter lives in Manchester and has already been back to a couple of the places we visited as she didn’t even realise they existed. I would definitely recommend going on the cheese crawl and I will do it again given the chance.

A walk around some foodie outlets in a smallish area of Manchester with a fun, sociable element.
The excellent guide, Matt, points out some interesting places along the way, and there are quiz questions to answer, which really breaks the ice. And , of course, the cheese!
We had several tasting sessions, including some biscuits and condiments, plus in 2 venues, a matching wine!
I would say this amounts to a light lunch in the end!

The tour was wonderfully guided by the lovely and bubbly Mel. - The tour started promptly and with excitement. The range of cheese on offer for sampling were a delight and we got to see and experience some places in Manchester I haven't been before, nor were aware of.
The only thing I'd suggest is... Even more cheese!

It was such good fun, cheeses were excellent, a great way to see Manchester and find new eateries. Mel was a fab guide.
KATHRYN_M, Jan 2025
Great experience. I am a Mancunian but discovered areas/facilities I was not aware of. Clearly a great deal of thought had gone into creating the experience and the guide was very engaging.
Dana_T, Jan 2025
Fun and knowledgable guide. Great way to see unique spots I wouldn’t have otherwise. The crumble cheese on toast was the best!
Colin_H, Dec 2024
The tour guide was very good. Place visited worthwhile. A little over priced for what was involved regrettably.
Sandra_H, Dec 2024
If you like interactive, this is for you. It allows you to go to venues you might never have come across. Great value for money.
Lorraine_M, Nov 2024
It was badly organised . We felt rushed, felt our group was too big. Do t feel like we learnt much about cheese
Yasmin_G, Nov 2024
Was generally a nice idea, but most of the places we had to stand up or wait outside rather than being welcomed into the restaurants which made the tour less enjoyable.
Rikki_S, Nov 2024
This was a fun, informative and varied tour, which included quite a few stops with a variety of food (a glass of wine at 2 of the stops, a rarebit, a grilled cheese sandwich as well as some more traditional samples) - we thought it was excellent value for money with those quite substantial snacks as well as a fun way to wander the city for an afternoon
Susan_H, Oct 2024
We had a great day. We tasted great cheese, we're introduced to independent businesses.
Our guide was fun and warm.
Pamela_J, Oct 2024
The entertaining narration by our guide, and the varied places to stop and enjoy different types of cheeses (and wine). The quiz component was very entertaining
Rick_S, Oct 2024
Great event. My daughter and I truly enjoyed the experience. Great history of cheese intertwined with sowm history of Manchester. Thank you Mel and Mark!
Simon_C, Sep 2024
Mel, our guide, was excellent... fun, very knowledgeable and professional. Although the cheese was really good, I thought the opportunity to be shown around Manchester was even better. As a result, I can say that I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay in this city.
Megan_H, Sep 2024
Mel was absolutely amazing as a guide. She looked after everyone and was very engaging. We enjoyed this tour and it was also helped by the great group/weather! Great way to spend a couple of hours in Manchester - we loved all the cheese we tried!

Fabulous time, Mel conducted our tour and was amazing. most enjoyable afternoon although I did fall ( nothing to do with the tour) and broke a toe 🤦♀️. Participation is essential and you will have a great experience
Becki_M, May 2024
Very interesting tour with like minded cheese lovers and a cool way to spend a couple of hours in the City.
