They inform me they had a very enjoyable afternoon - I purchases the tour for my two daughters and their husband for Xmas present. I found the courier helpful throughout the process of booking and my family enjoyed the tour very much and have already returned to one of the restaurants visited.

Best introduction to Shrewsbury! - This was our first time doing a walking food tour and I'm glad to say that Gareth did not disappoint. This walking tour was the first thing we did on arriving in Shrewsbury and it was the perfect way to get orientated to the area and receive suggestions on other restaurants and venues to explore over the weekend. The tour was very well curated and organised. 4 hours flew by so quickly and we left with a full belly. It was great to visit and support so many local businesses and learn about how they source quality ingredients with sustainability. There was great mix of sweet, savoury and drinks. Over the weekend we ended up going to two more restaurants that were informally recommended during the tour and it was well worth it. Dietary restrictions if any are taken into account for prior to the tour. Highly recommend! Keep up the great work Gareth!

A great day out - Excellent day out: the other 5 star reviews have mostly said it all. We particularly liked the emphasis at each venue on the use of quality ingredients, often local and sustainable. Thanks Gareth and our six fellow-walkers!

Enjoyable and memorable afternoon spent in wonderful Shrewsbury. - Gareth proved to be a most welcoming and personable guide. The afternoon consisted of visits to a number of diverse retail locations serving a range good quality food and drink while the opportunity to speak at length to nearly all of the owners/managers made the tour all the more interesting. In addition, as we walked between venues, Gareth’s knowledgeable input gave us a good grasp of its history and orientation. Shrewsbury is an absolute gem of a place! We really enjoyed the afternoon and highly recommend the tour. (We plan to enjoy a similar experience with Gareth in one of the other cities that he covers).

Perfect food, beautiful town, expert guide - I have done the Chester and Liverpool Food Tours, both were fabulous, so I had high expectations of the Shrewsbury Tour, especially since I didn’t know Shrewsbury at all. These high expectations were exceeded! From start to finish, Gareth led us expertly though the beautiful town, pointing out fascinating Architecture and tiny alleyways, with interesting and relevant snippets of history between the expertly-chosen food stops. I won’t comment on every one, just to say the food in all was delicious, with informative talks by the proprietors. It’s hard to choose a favourite, but Tanners Wine Merchants possibly wins because of the highly expert talk, the amazing building and the wine tasting in a lovely courtyard afterwards. But learning about Ice Cream making, and actually making a waffle cone, in Gelatistry was superb too… and Pierogi in The Shed… and…. all of them!! I loved the whole day, thank you Gareth!

a very happy and enjoyable afternoon - Gareth gave us a wonderful tour around Shrewsbury. We visited a variety of independent venues, eating a few lovely cheeses, some appetizing little dishes and enjoying delicious wines. We learnt about the history of this beautiful town and some of the famous people associated with it. Would definitely recommend this experience.

Extremely enjoyable afternoon in Shrewsbury! - Attended the food walking tour with clients through work and what a brilliant afternoon it was. An excellent variety of different places to visit, eat and drink and as I'd never been to the centre of Shrewsbury the tour definitely gave me a good insight to the heritage. The tour guide was excellent too, informative, jovial and engaging.

Great day out with business clients - Great food, Gareth was very informative and friendly.
Really enjoyed the wine tasting and the Gelato parts of the tour. It was inspiring listening to the founders of the Gelato shop, young women who have built a successful business.

Great day - Very pretty to walk around, nice coffee shops. Plenty of restaurants of all kinds of food. Car parking wasn't too bad, disabled parking was free where we parked so a bonus!
