5.00This was overalla greatexperience. Our tour guide Ellie was friendly and engaging and a little bit of history thrown in on the way - a great host. The food was delicious and to be honest, we visited places we would never have known were there! Just bear in mind if you have food allergies eg anaphylaxis, you need to be careful as peanuts are served.

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.
