Excellent balance of walking, eating and history. Kay was an excellent and informative guide. The tour took us to places that we would not have found by ourselves.

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.

Excellent tour.

This was a great tour. 4 different places to eat. 2 savories, sweet and cheese. Each one very different as atmosphere. Each lovely in it'd own way.

A very tasty gift.

A real treat gifted to us as a Christmas present. Kay, our guide, looked after us so very well and provided exactly the right level of historical information for me. Our small group of 8 were not strangers for long. The food, of course, was the main focus and it was exciting and gorgeous. The contrasting venues, interesting or quirky, were all great choices. If you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to join this tour, do wear comfortable footwear. Not too much walking, but some venues have stairs which could feel challenging when you have a full belly! I would spoil it for you if I shared which food we sampled, but have no hesitation in recommending this yummy tour.

Louise was a great tour guide and took us to eateries and places off the beaten track in York. The Nepalese tasting dish was delicious.

Lovely walking tour of some of York’s most interesting food
