This was a brilliant way to spend an afternoon, taking in some tasty food, excellent wine, and good company whilst exploring Chester. Gareth is a knowledgeable and sociable host/ guide that makes for a relaxed and enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend.

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.

Excellent food tour
Really enjoyed the tour and Mal was a great guide. Visited four very different places, all had lovely food from different parts of the world but all championing local production in Chester and surrounding areas. Will definitely look at other tours in diff cities.

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!

Excellent walking tour of Liverpool
We had met some American friends so asked for a Beatles slant so started at the Beatles experience. Went onto to have delicious pastries, traditional Liverpudlian stew ( Scouse or Lobby), Spanish cheese and wine and finished up in a pub that used to be a prison! 4 hour tour well worth the money and tailored to our choices

Great experience. Think of the veggies!
A great experience and a great tour guide. My only negative is that as a vegetarian I felt very short changed! 2 of the places, the Spanish tapas and the Italian were heavily weighted towards meat eaters, especially the Italian where everyone ate more cheese than ham! The 2 veggies were left with very little food. Maybe charge less for veggies or provide some more options especially for the veggies that the others can not eat!

Another FANTASTIC walking food tour ⭐️
We had a fantastic time on the Liverpool Walking Food Tour yesterday. Trev, our guide, was brilliant. Friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was looked after. The food was absolutely delicious with thoughtful options for everyone, including separate plates for vegetarians and even a dedicated vegetarian stop. We were also lucky with the weather, which made the day even better. Big thanks to Gareth too. The booking process was smooth and communication was excellent. We loved it so much after doing Chester last time and we’ll definitely be back for another tour.

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.

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.

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.

Another amazing tour with Mikey. What a day! Even the horrendous rain didn’t dampen our delight!   From beautiful pastries at the Albert Dock (Rough Handmade), amazing aromas of tea at the Liverpool Tea Warehouse and a mix of Spanish (Lunya) and Italian (Hey Farina) food to die for.  And to top it a visit to a cell at The Bridewell  which made us laugh a lot. Everyone at the venues was so friendly and of course Mikey as always was charming. I would recommend this tour for an amazing day of fabulous food and lots of information about Liverpool.  Brilliant!

My wife booked the Liverpool Wine Tasting tour and I was nothing but impressed.

Mikey was the perfect host - very professional, passionate and knowledgeable.

We visited 4 venues, 3 of which we’d never knew existed - and we will 100% return.

I’d highly recommend this experience to friends and family and wouldn’t hesitate booking again in the future.

We had the best time on the wine tour yesterday with Mikey! 🍷 He was absolutely fantastic! so knowledgeable, friendly and clearly passionate about Liverpool.

Mikey took us to some amazing hidden gems that we would never have found ourselves, and what really stood out was how he knew all the names of the staff and history behind every place we visited. He made the whole experience feel really personal and interesting.

We had such a brilliant day, discovered some fantastic places and enjoyed some lovely wine along the way! 🍷🥂

Would 100% recommend Mikey and the tour to anyone wanting to see a different side of Liverpool. Thanks for a fantastic day, Mikey! 👏🏼

Gareth provided the best walking food tour we have ever been on! He informed us of pertinent history and stories along the route we took, very engaging and easy to speak with. He also curated specialized food stops of small local owners that are 5 star! Everything we ate is something we would definitely come back for the next time we are in Liverpool! I would recommend him to everyone we know coming to the areas he covers.

We had such a lovely time at the Cheshire wine and cheese tasting and vineyard visit. Gareth was a brilliant guide and made the whole experience feel relaxed, interesting and really enjoyable. We loved hearing about the vineyard, learning more about the wine and, of course, sampling the wine and cheese!

It was a really lovely evening and something we’ll definitely remember. We’d highly recommend it. 😊

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!

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 anyone

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.

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.

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!

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.
