A tasty, cultural experience - We had a delightful experience on this food tour! We experienced it as tourists, but it would also be a great experience as a local. There were a wide variety of foods from many different ethnicities that we tried, and they were all very tasty. Nikki was our tour guide and she was wonderful to work with-- very personable and knowledgeable about all of the stops we went to. This was a great way to spend our afternoon in York and we highly recommend taking this tour!

Fun afternoon full of food - We were able to try food and drinks from four local restaurants, representing foods from around the world, which is consistent with the international food scene in York. Each dish was delicious and we were very full - of food and information about York and British food traditions.
