Great tour of the independent eateries in Harrogate - Jill was our guide for this tour on Easter Saturday and we enjoyed great quality food and (luckily) great weather.
It was a excellent way to experience the local independent eateries and learn about Harrogate's history as we toured around in the sunshine.
We felt the tour was value for money and the food quantity more than adequate, with varied taster meals in unique venues.

A truly unforgettable experience - This tour was given to me by one of my sons for my birthday. My wife, who went with me, and I had no idea of what to expect. However, it turned out to be an absolutely exceptional and extremely enjoyable experience. Our guide, Kay, the owner of the business, was not only extremely friendly, but was a mine of information about the places we visited and the food experiences we had and thoroughly enjoyed. She was also very knowledgable about Harrogate as a whole as well as the particular parts of it we went to. Altogether, it was a mind blowing day and highly recommended. We shall, certainly, go back to all the place's we went to and experience more of their fantastic food specialties.

Well organised food tour - A lovely well organised food tour around Harrogate. The tour guide Kay was excellent, very informative talks about Harrogate as we walked to the five different venues to taste Yorkshire food. Kay allowed us to walk at our own pace. (Which is pretty slow! ) At each venue the portion was perfect, delicious and all different. We loved in particular Vanilis ice cream parlour where the owner made his own ice cream delicious. A tour we highly recommend

Five star tour - Had a brilliant time lots of great information about Harrogate.
Some lovely food the Yorkshire puddings in the blue moon were amazing.

Already looking at going to Leeds to do the food tour there

Wonderful Walking Food Tour - Thank you Kay for a Wonderful Walking Food Tour! Even though my partner and I have lived in Harrogate for about 6 years, you showed us places we had never visited before. The food was amazing. I would definitely recommend this tour and if I get a chance I'll be booking to attend the tours in York, Leeds and York.

York Food Tour - A great afternoon with Katie, very personable and informative about local history. Also a fabulous choice of local establishments for food and drink. The 3 hours flew by and certainly agree that you only need a small breakfast before going along. Will certainly be trying the Harrogate food tour.

There’s more than Betty’s in Harrogate - This tour opened a window on new places to visit in Harrogate. The guide was knowledgeable and the places we visited were varied and delicious! Well planned and enjoyed by our relatives who have lived in Harrogate for 20 years.

Rename Food Tour - Attended the food and drinks tour in Harrogate yesterday, with my husband.
Kay was very knowledgeable in regards to the history in Harrogate, however, it’s needs renaming to Food Tour as only water was offered with the food, except for the last stop were you were offered half a glass of beer.
Don’t feel it is value for money.

Bittersweet - I appreciate the effort made by the tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about the area and a very nice lady. The food was very nice but was, and I'm very sad to say, in tiny portions. The starter was lovely and just right to get going but the main was....well, hardly main at all. It was nice though just no way near enough for a kid never mind a grown man. I'd have done better going to Mcdonald's instead and I don't do McDonald's. Wish I could have given a better review x
