Great food tour. Lots of interesting information and delicious food. - My friend and I really enjoyed the Yorkshire Appetite food tour. Jill told us interesting facts about each establishment we visited. The food tasted was delicious - eggs florentine, Yorkshire tapas, beautiful cakes, delicious ice cream and cheese and biscuits served with a drink of choice. We went to parts of Harrogate we had not been to previously and Jill told us interesting facts along the way. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Harrogate. Thank you Jill.

A great foodie tour of Harrogate - This was my first visit to Harrogate and I had a day to fill on my own. I found the Harrogate Food Tour on the internet. It was a great experience. Linda our tour guide gave the three members of the group snippets of information about Harrogate as we walked round the town from venue to venue. Despite a medical emergency by a member of staff at our starting point, Kay (Yorkshire Food Tours) quickly and efficiently changed the itinerary and we didn't miss anything. We went to places that I wouldn't have known about. If you are a foodie, I highly recommend this tour.

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. Peter & Caro Smith

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
