5.00Ben met our small group promptly, and looked after us brilliantly for the next three hours. He took us to a wide variety of eateries, all delicious, all fun, and a wonderful introduction to what York has to offer. He also had a wide ranging knowledge of the fascinating history of York. He told us that he was a judge for the Great Taste awards, and this possibly informs his enthusiasm and knowledge of food. I would warmly recommend this tour/ experience. We have already booked to return to York to explore everything more, feeling more confident after such a fun introduction to this beautiful, friendly place. Many thanks Ben
Great Food Tour
