5.00I can’t think of a better or more enjoyable way of exploring York than being led by our super host Ellen around some of the city’s various eating establishments. The food was excellent. We tried locally made cheeses and fudge and sampled Asian street food; all while learning about the history of an ancient and beautiful city. Three and a half hours well spent!

5.00What an excellent way to spend sometime in York. Visiting a number of interesting places to eat and drink over a few hours. The tour was very well organised and enabled the group to interact and socialise in York centre. I particularly enjoyed the street food.
