It was very well organized, great way to sample different foods and restaurants that we would not normally have tried. Fantastic way to meet and chat to loads of new people cannot recommend the experience highly enough. Great value for money

6 very different restaurants which I probably would have walked past if it wasn’t for this experience. However now I will definitely want to go again. Great food, great drinks and great service. Totally enjoyable day out. Highly recommend.

I wasn’t sure what to expect but I loved every minute of the afternoon. The varied choice of restaurants was great and all of them went out there way to make it a great experience.
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.
Glasgow
My husband and I went in the Glasgow Merchant City Restaurant Tour. At each restaurant the food was wonderful and we got drink for each course too. We could tour as quickly or as slowly as we wanted and we had plenty of time to visit all restaurants. We definitely plan to go on another tour and will know it is so good to buy as a gift! I have recommended this tour to friends and colleagues who have also taken the opportunity to go on a food tour!

Such an incredible concept. The best possible way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

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
Shrewsbury
I’d never done the tour before and I’m so glad I finally did! It was such a fun and delicious way to spend the day. I loved trying new dishes and exploring different types of cuisine — each of the six venues offered something unique, and every stop came with a perfectly paired drink, which added to the experience. Being in Shrewsbury made it even better. The time to walk between venues gave us a chance to chat, enjoy the surroundings, and really savour the day. It felt relaxed, friendly, and full of flavour. Overall, it was a lovely day — fun, tasty, and a great way to discover new spots. Highly recommended for any foodie looking for a good time!

Really really well organized and some fantastic places to visit. The difference between the best and worst place on the tour was quite vast, but 5 of our 6 stops were incredible and the variety actually made it more interesting and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend!

This was an amazing tour. It was our first time and we enjoyed having the freedom of no guide and on our own timescales.
