Fantastic Food, Great Company and a Wonderful Host What a fantastic day out! From the initial booking enquiry (with Gareth) through to the tour itself, everything was superbly organised and we had an amazing time. Our host, Malc, was friendly, knowledgeable and incredibly engaging. He made everyone feel welcome, kept the day flowing smoothly and ensured we got the most out of every stop on the tour. We enjoyed a wonderful variety of food and drink from different countries, many of which were completely new to us. That's one of the best things about a food tour - the chance to discover cuisines you may never have tried otherwise. In fact, I've now found a new favourite cuisine: Polish! I attended with a group of colleagues and it was the perfect team day out. We were able to relax, enjoy some fantastic food, spend quality time together and learn more about the beautiful city of Chester. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone. Whether you're local to Chester or just visiting, it's a brilliant experience. Book it - you won't regret it! 😊Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

I enjoyed Shrewsbury tour, a fun afternoon with heather the guid, being local i learnt new history and places to visit, I wouldn't have thought of. Being solo, I was welcome into the group and enjoyed listening to all stories from the local businesses. I would recommend the tours if solo or in group for a fun afternoon, great start to holidayPosted on Tripadvisor![]()

Fantastic experience What a fantastic way to spend an afternoon ! My wife and I had the pleasure of being shown around Shrewsbury by Brian last week. From learning about the history and architecture to sampling excellent coffee, wine, whiskey, cider and outstanding food treats, Brian covered everything ! :) Thanks Brian and Gareth for an awesome experience.Posted on Google![]()

Had a terrific time on the Food & Wine tour of Shrewsbury. Heather our guide was brilliant and was full of interesting information about the city and the places we visited. Lovely city with lots of history and independent shops, restaurants and bars too. We thought it was quite a lot of money when we booked but came away thinking it’s really good value. We had a range of food and drinks in five interesting places over around four hours. We are now working out where we can go for our next Food & Wine tour.Posted on Google![]()

Excellent food tour, great venues and knowledgeable host This is the second time I have done the Chester tour, having enjoyed it so much previously. Both times with Gareth who as ever was an excellent knowledgeable host, providing educational input of the city. The venues were also well thought out in terms of a variety of food and structure around the courses of a meal. There was also variety of venues from the previous tour I did, meaning it’s just as good the second time around. Being local it’s amazing how much you don’t know about a place 10 miles away from where you live. Chester really is a stunning location to visit, particularly on such a nice day with the structure of a food tour.Posted on Google![]()

Fun Experience Our friendly and knowledgeable guide was Pete. He took us to four pubs that we never would have found on our own. We enjoyed learning the history of each pub and what made each special. We the food was good, but the portions were small. We both left hungry.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Good times Did this food tour around Liverpool with a mix of American and English friends, and our guide Mikey made the whole thing. He was knowledgeable, funny, and clearly loved the city — weaving in local history between stops so it felt like more than just an eating tour. The food was a great mix of Scouse classics and hidden gems we'd never have found ourselves, with generous portions and perfect pacing. Mikey did a brilliant job explaining British terms and dishes for our American friends without ever making it feel like a lecture, and kept things relaxed enough that the whole group bonded along the way. Highly recommend — ask for Mikey if you can!Posted on Google![]()

Great tour with Trev in Liverpool. Especially enjoyed Lunya (wonderland of Spanish produce) and will be ordering from them online in the future. The tour is the perfect way to get your bearings while enjoying lovely food and drink, getting some spot on recommendations. Cheers Trev.Posted on Google![]()

I recently took the Liverpool Walking Food Tour and had a fantastic experience. Our guide, Gareth, was absolutely superb. I had previously joined his Chester food tour and was blown away by his knowledge and enthusiasm, so I had high expectations going into this one, and he exceeded them once again. Gareth's passion for food, local history, and the city itself really shines through. His extensive knowledge of Liverpool, its hidden gems, and the local vendors made the experience both engaging and entertaining from start to finish. The tour offered a great mix of delicious food and fascinating insights, allowing us to discover some wonderful independent businesses and enjoy the very best of what the city has to offer. What really sets Gareth apart is the extra effort he puts in. After the tour, he followed up with photos he had taken of the group and the locations we visited, along with additional recommendations for places to eat and explore. The tour was excellent value for money, and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Liverpool or even locals looking to discover something new about their city. A definite 10/10 experience, and one I would happily do again! Highly recommended.Posted on Google![]()

I gifted my son this tour as a birthday present and we completed the tour together. We are both pretty active and really enjoy good food so it seemed a great idea to combine the two! Booking was really easy and I had great communication from Gareth prior to the date. Gareth met us in person on the day and we embarked on a really enjoyable few hours walking around the city and visiting some lovely eating places. My son and I are familiar with Chester but we learned some interesting new facts about the city. We also got to visit eating places we hadn’t thought about before, and some we weren’t aware existed! Gareth was a great communicator, both interested and interesting. He had prepared really well for our tour and the hosts at the eating places were welcoming and very hospitable. We ate some really delicious food and learned about its provenance. We both finished the tour feeling very full and having enjoyed a great experience together. I would definitely recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to go ahead with another of the walking tours available.Posted on Trustindex![]()

Fantastic host and unique venues Gareth was an incredible host—professional, knowledgeable, and truly entertaining throughout the experience. The venues were so unique, offering fantastic food and drinks that added to the excitement. I especially loved the element of mystery and getting to explore new places. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and memorable outing!Posted on Trustindex![]()

Fantastic Liverpool Food Walking Tour We booked Gareth Boyd’s food walking tour as a corporate event for our network, and the experience exceeded expectations from start to finish. The evening was incredibly well organised and paced perfectly, with a great mix of food, conversation, walking, and discovering more about the city along the way. Gareth was a fantastic host knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about Liverpool. He took us on a food tour through the city with stops at Queens, Pasta Lab/Gran Café, and Lunya, each offering something different and equally enjoyable. Along the way, he shared facts about Liverpool, its history, and famous landmarks, which added so much to the overall experience. The atmosphere throughout was relaxed, welcoming, and full of great conversation. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the evening, and it was a brilliant way to bring people together in a more informal setting. We would highly recommend Gareth for corporate groups, team events, or anyone looking for a unique way to experience Liverpool and any other city!+2Posted on Trustindex![]()

Great Liverpool food tour We had a fabulous food walking tour around Liverpool. Our guide, Gareth, was excellent—courteous, engaging, and genuinely interested in getting to know everyone in the group, which made the experience feel very personal and welcoming. Gareth’s local knowledge was outstanding. He shared fascinating insights about the city’s history, culture, and food scene that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. The tour included visits to three independent local restaurants, each offering something different and delicious. The staff at every stop were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, clearly passionate about what they do and happy to share their expertise with us. The team warehouse visit was also good fun. Overall, it was a fantastic way to explore Liverpool through its food and people. We would highly recommend this tour to anyonePosted on Trustindex![]()

Fantastic food tour with Gareth! We had the most incredible experience on our walking food tour in Chester! Gareth, our fantastic guide, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating historical insights while guiding us to hidden culinary gems. From fresh oysters to delicious Turkish meze, every bite and sip was absolutely stunning. The restaurants were warm and welcoming, making the whole experience unforgettable. We ate, drank, chatted, and learned so much—it was a perfect day! Can’t wait to book another tour soon.+2Posted on Trustindex![]()

An delicious afternoon of Wine in Liverpool Attended the Liverpool Wine Tour Experience last Sunday for my 50th Birthday. We were guided expertly by Gareth - who made the job of leading the tour look effortless. The four venues we visited, showcased how far Liverpool has come in terms of food and drink offerings, with a cracking cross-section of varied Independent venues that we will certainly be revisiting. Staff were enthusiastic and welcoming and I would recommend this to both locals and visitors to the city. Dietary requirements were all carefully catered for.Posted on Trustindex![]()

Best Walking Food Tour Experience! I took a few of my clients out on Gareth's Food Tour after having heard the reviews from my colleagues. The tour was absolutely brilliant and worth every penny! Gareth made sure we all were looked after and that we enjoyed every aspect of the tour. On top of the lovely food and drink we had the pleasure of trying, Gareth gave us insights into the history of the places we visited. We tried food and drink from Lunya, Madre, Bar Glue, Hey Farina and BoBo. Gareth introduced us to staff/management at each restaurant who were warm and hospitable. I personally would highly recommend Gareth's tour to anyone who is looking to explore Liverpool's rich and exciting restaurants and bars!+6Posted on Trustindex![]()

Great way to experience Chester with knowledgeable guide, good food and company I did the Chester tour with my father-in-law and Gareth was our guide. We both really enjoyed the experience and learned a fair bit about the city we have lived just 10 miles away from for many years. The food was delicious and all at venues we had not visited before. Gareth was a knowledgeable host and the other guests were good company. I would really recommend the experience and we are already looking forward to doing some of the other city tours.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
