A different perspective on food in Leeds - Such a good day. Nice group of people to do it with. The aim was for us to experience some different food outlets to make our regular trips into Leeds a little more interesting as we visit the same places all the time. We were not disappointed with the choice of venues. The host was great, very knowledgeable. Would recommend.

Hidden Food Tour - Awesome - What a truly brilliant afternoon on Leeds Food Tours trip round Leeds. We went to 6 different places, some of which we’ve walked past the door of and never even noticed. If you are looking for a gift for “foodies”, this is a must

Leeds Food Tour - Excellent! - A great way to spend a fun afternoon at some hidden eateries in Leeds. Lynda, our guide, was full of interesting information about Leeds and the restaurants we visited and was great fun too! Lynda really ensured we all had a memorable time. A very good varied selection of the types of food Leeds has to offer and especially enjoyed the chilli shop. Would highly recommend this tour.

Vegan Friendly Hidden Foodie Gems in Leeds - Really enjoyed the food tour - we tried lots of delicious and varied food and as a vegan I was well looked after in every place we stopped. My highlight would have to be the Chilli Shop - partly because Frank who gave the tour was so entertaining and knowledgable and clearly loves all things chilli and partly because I learnt a lot about chilli and how actually maybe chilli ( surprise to me) is my thing. We also visited the Cheesey Living Company - where ( as i am vegan) I was given a delicious cashew based pesto bruschetta. Yum! Cheese plates looked great for those that indulge. It's a fun activity to do together as a team - I had fun, ate delicious food and got to know my colleagues better. Highly recommend with friends or colleagues.

Nice way to spend an afternoon in Leeds - We had a wonderful day exploring Leeds and visiting new eateries. The visit to The Chilli Shop was a real treat. Our guide, Lynda kept us on track but we didn’t feel rushed at each of the stops. My favourite was Manjit’s Kitchen, delicious samosa chatt and I’ll definitely make a return visit there.

A fabulous afternoon out - We had a fabulous time on the food tour. Despite being from Leeds, we ate in different places and would definitely return to them. It was nice to hear about how and why food places existed and great to share an afternoon with others, chilling. eating and drinking.

Great afternoon out - Had a great time with our lovely guide Lynda who was full of interesting facts and well organised. Come to Leeds often but discovered lots of new places, most of which we will revisit. Sampled some great food, drinks can be bought extra, though be aware you may have to drink them quickly! Loved it when the staff were enthusiastic and interested, they’re the ones you want to revisit. Got to say a couple of places didn’t really show us much interest, just produced the food with little explanation. Lucky to have good weather and another lovely couple to experience this with which made it brilliant. Would recommend as a great day and for a gift.

Far too expensive for what it is. - The food wasn’t great and they were small portions. One stop you don’t get any food you just try chilli sauce, one place the food wasn’t cooked properly, one place the food was great, the gelato stop is a waste of time -no choice of flavours and it wasn’t good and the other two places were substandard. The tour guide was nice but didn’t tell us anything we didn’t already know (we live in Leeds). All in all for the price, I wouldn’t go anywhere near it. Even at half the price, I wouldn’t bother. The total of the food you get is less than £25 and that’s being generous. You pay £50 to walk around with someone, who knows a little about some places in Leeds.
