An Amazing Day ! - I would definitely recommend this tour, I’d never done anything like this before but it combines everything i love, walking, local history , eating & drinking, Steph is a brilliant guide, she is friendly, informative and really gave us an amazing day ! Brita is a trainee who came along, I’m sure she will be brilliant, we went to places we’d never been in Manchester before, we will definitely be going back to Mackie Mayor ! The food was lovely and there is a few drinks included as well, the walking is at a leisurely pace so anyone can participate, really nice to find out the history of somewhere I’ve been lots of times and taking a really good look at things I’ve never even noticed before, I think this tour is an ideal gift especially with Xmas around the corner, it was a complete surprise for me and definitely a day I will remember.

Great food, informative, fun city tour of Manchester. - Although we've been coming to Manchester regularly for many years, we were taken to many hidden gems we hadn't known about, both food related and historically. What a great guide Rob is! So knowledgeable and obviously passionate about sharing his love of the city and heralding small independent bars and food outlets. We were a mixed aged and nationalities group and the tour was perfect for us all. I won't spoil the surprise of places we visited as that's part of the fun of any city tour! Don't hesitate to book it - great food at all the stops and a relaxing, informative way to spend a few hours in an amazing city.

Manchester at its best - We did the Eat in the City tour and this was a fabulous half day with Rob who was a great and very personable guide to the nooks and crannies of Manchester. Whilst I might have been a very regular visitor to the City, I learnt so much new about the industrial landscape, the street art, the history, the urban regeneration, and of course the food and drink. What a great idea to combine stories and insights of this amazing place with some fabulous food and drink stops with a real Mancunian twist. Would definitely recommend Lots of great photos taken but to share them and the specific itinerary spoils the surprise of the foodie treats in store

Fun and interesting way to try great unexpecting hidden gems! - Oh my where to begin- I was nervous because I was going solo in this food tour but i was t the only one! There was another person going solo and other people who had family going- honestly it didn’t matter everyone was friendly and our guide made our experience!!! He was fun and easy going! It was more than just a food tour, rich in history with beverages too! I took a few pictures of food but honestly from beginning to end we had so much from donuts to staple foods to why Manchester has a culinary melting pot pop of flavor from so many cultures to dessert at the end! Our guide did not rush us and we ended up actually going over! We even found an iconic Marvel scene I snapped to take back to my boyfriend! It was such a great afternoon and highly recommend! It felt like a group of friends getting together with a knowledgeable family member taking us around town!

Great food in Manchester - Food selections were fantastic and Rob (our guide) was one of the best guides I’ve had on a food tour. We were a small group of 4 and it was like a day with friends. From the start with tacos, to the end with ice cream and everything in between, it was great. Highly recommend.
