Customer Reviews
We booked a private tour as part of a team building session - it was 100% the highlight of the day. The booking process was excellent and the Taste and Tour team curated a bespoke tour for our needs which was very much appreciated. Dietary requirements were no issue and every venue went above and beyond to cater for the individual needs. Our tour guide Barry was first class and by the end of the tour it was as if he was part of our own team also!! Huge thank you to him for making the experience all that more enjoyable. If you are considering making a booking, my advice would be to not hesitate - you will not be disappointed!!
We had such a great time on this walking food tour through the Belfast city center. I would highly recommend it. You will learn a lot, eat great food and be entertained. Well worth the money and time spent and the food was fantastic.
This is a must tour for any food/drink lovers to Belfast. Our guide, Cathy, made us all feel relaxed from the start and added greatly to the experience. We had a five stop brunch tour and were treated to experiences right across the city. The whole experience was amazing as we journey with like minded travellers.
