  • 5Fantastic Food Tour

    Fantastic food tour in Leeds. The tour was very well organised and consisted of variety of foods from Tunisa sandwiches in Kirkgate Market, Italian food at Stuzzi, Mexican and Indian food, and not forgetting the lush brownies and ice cream. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable of the food and history of Leeds. Highly recommended!

  • 5Interesting and fun filled eating!

    A great day out! It was very interesting and we found several new places to eat which we will do in the future. Lynda was a lovely person who entertained us as well as introducing us to new food outlets in Leeds. We were full at the end of the day but left happy to have experienced the tour

  • 5Eat and drink on a mystery tour of eateries in great company

    What a great way to spend an afternoon. Lynda was a lovely host and took us to 6 eateries and an "experience". Really nice group of people. I won't mention the venues as I don't want to spoil the surprise for anyone on a future Leeds Food Tour, but 5 of the 7 venues were completely new to us - it's a great way to discover new eateries and would thoroughly recommend. We will book again.

  • 5Great Day :)

    Had a brilliant day on this tour. Our guide Lynda was lovely and made us feel welcome right from the start. We went to some fantastic places, places that normally we probably would never go in but we were all so impressed with every stop of this tour. Can’t wait to try another tour! Would definitely recommend!

  • 5Culinary treasure hunt!

    This was so much fun! We would totally recommend it to our friends. We appreciated Lynda's information about the city in addition to the food, and we're sure we would not have found most of these places without her.

About Leeds

Leeds is West Yorkshire's big city, a Victorian centre of arcades and markets with galleries, a waterfront and the Yorkshire Dales within reach.

Leeds grew in the nineteenth century on wool, cloth and engineering, and its Victorian centre shows it in the grand Town Hall, the oval Corn Exchange and the glass-roofed shopping arcades of the Victoria Quarter. Kirkgate Market is one of the biggest covered markets in Europe, and it is where Michael Marks first set up the penny bazaar that grew into a national retailer.
