Such an incredible concept. The best possible way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Liverpool
We had a great afternoon, the restaurants were a great mix & everyone was charming. We even spoke to other participants & they were having a great time too.

Experiencing the light bites and accompanying drinks at each restaurant was enjoyable, we visited places we didn’t know of until that day. The route was well planned and although we knew a lot of people were taking part that day, it did not feel busy or at all rushed as the starting routes varied. We went with friends and had a great day. Would recommend.

My partner and I booked on to the Castle street restaurant tour in Liverpool and it was possibly our favourite date we have ever been on! It was well organised, good value for money and a great opportunity to try new restaurants around our city which we have since visited regularly. I would definitely like to try one of the other tours.

We've done 2 of the tours and both times had the best time. Enjoyed restaurants that we never even knew were there and tries some delicious food. The staff everywhere have been fun, friendly and welcoming. I've recommended the restaurants tours to many of my friends. Can't wait to book to do another one

Fantastic day out in Glasgow on the Restaurant Tour. We had not expected the portions to be so generous, full size mains, and what a nice surprise for the matched wines to be equally generous, and in most cases of a very high quality! It was good to have the restaurants spaced out enough to walk off the meal before digging into the next one! And all the venues were beautifully appointed, the ambiance just perfect for not one but six meals fit for a couple of princesses!!
Birmingham
It was a great experience and took us to us places we would never normally have visited. We are new in the city and it is a great way to discover Milton Keynes
Glasgow
The food and wine selections were top-notch. I loved discovering the city's culinary scene one bite at a time. Can't wait to return
