Great tour and great guide

5.00Great tour. Small group. Left cruise terminal on full size bus. Short ride to Belfast town center. Walked at good pace to four stops for food and drink. Potatoes and hard cider, bread dipping sauce, spreads, cheese. Then lamb stew or chowder and beer or wine or cider, finally hot chocolate and chocolate liqueur filled candy. Liam provided great information along the way. Had time to shop a little along the way. Back to cruise terminal right on time. Great guide and great tour. Highly recommend

5.00As a local, I wasn’t sure what to expect—but this Belfast food tour completely surprised me in the best way. We were treated to a generous spread of food and drinks throughout the day: from hearty bites to sweet treats, with plenty of Guinness and wine to keep spirits high. And the hot chocolate? Absolutely divine—hands down the best I’ve ever had. What made it extra special was discovering hidden gems I’d never visited before, despite living here. Our guide Maeve was brilliant, full of stories and charm, and the whole experience felt like a celebration of Belfast’s culinary soul. We wrapped up the day with a few drinks at the Sunflower, joined by some lovely folks we met on the tour. Great craic, great company, and a brilliant way to spend the day. Highly recommend—even for locals!
Fun , food and history

5.00Liam did a fantastic job on this tour offering insights on Belfast’s Troubles history and on the different foods we were sampling. He also suggested sights to see and restaurants and pubs to visit in the evening. Well worth going on this tour
A grand slam tour.

5.00We had a fabulous time during a UK cruise shore excursion. Kate and Rosie were very knowledgeable, plus all food and drinks were great. They gave lots of detail about local Belfast businesses and their products where we stopped. They also told lots of info about Belfast and gave objective comments about history, such as "the troubles". If you take this tour, you'll definitely enjoy the food and drink, but you'll also learn a lot.
Recommended to all - AMAZING !

5.00We did the Taste and Tour food tour around Belfast yesterday and honestly had the best time! The tour lasted about four hours and took us around a variety of local food spots that we would never have thought to visit ourselves – even though we’re from the area. Every stop was different and really highlighted just how much local food and drink Belfast has to offer. We got to try so many different things and I now like food and drink that I would have turned my nose up at before. The whole idea of showcasing smaller, independent businesses came through so well, and it really opened our eyes to the hidden gems around the city. A special mention has to go to our guide, Rae. She was absolutely fantastic – knowledgeable, friendly, and so engaging. She really made the whole experience. I honestly don’t think the tour would have been half as good without her leading it. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone and more especially, local people across Northern Ireland and Ireland. Being a tourist in my local City was amazing.
Casual and fun

5.00We had such a great day on the Belfast Food Tour with Rae! From start to finish, she kept things fun, relaxed, and full of laughs. We wandered through some fantastic food spots, old and new, and sampled everything from local favorites to dishes I never would have ordered if left to my own devices (and loved them!). Even when we stopped at places I’d been before, Rae gave them a whole new twist and made them feel special. Honestly, it’s such good value considering the amount of food, the variety, and the brilliant guiding. A must-do in Belfast if you enjoy eating, drinking, exploring, and having a great time.

5.00What an incredible way to experience Belfast! Rae was a great guide-knowledgeable, fun, and full of great stories about the city and its food. Even in places we'd visited before, Rae managed to show us something new and encourage us to taste dishes we might have overlooked. The food and drinks were delicious and plentiful, and the variety kept things exciting. For the price, it's fantastic value, and I came away with a full stomach and a deeper appreciation of Belfast's food scene.
Highly recommended to find hidden gems.

5.00Had a fantastic day yesterday with Rae our tour guide, Rae was very welcoming, and good craic. We visited places that we didn’t know existed in Belfast. We learnt a lot about local businesses over multi chains, and importance of supporting local small businesses. We discovered hidden gems like Daisies Belfast chocolatier, Highly Recommended for hot chocolate, teas, coffee and tray bakes. This tour is a must if you have four hours to spare
