Local Leeds food tour is a great afternoon. Nell has crafted a fab tour. It was a relaxed and friendly tour, it felt like a friend showing me around town. Nell leads you to all of the best eats, supporting indie restaurants and picking food items that are interesting and have a story to share. The tour also combines history of the food and Leeds. After living in Leeds for a year the tour took to me to venues I'd walked past but never tried. And places I'd walked by but never noticed. I loved these venues so much so I went to them again on my own. Highly recommend these tours for locals and tourists alike.

As a newcomer to Leeds we booked this walking tour on our first morning in the city. It was a great introduction to the city - taking us around the city centre and explaining the history of the city as well as special details we would not have noticed or known about without an experienced guide. Tour was small which meant we could ask lots of questions. Appropriate social distancing measures in place - if you are attending remember to bring a mask as you get some great extras e.g. Corn Exchange
