    York on a fork food tour was excellent. Ben was really good. Very knowledgeable about the history of York. We stopped at 7 different places. All the food was delicious. Would highly recommend.

    I'm a fan of food and history and this had both. At every stop we had a bit of history about where we were before trying some of their wares. All the food was quality but really varied, from fine cheese to taco's to fish and chips. There was even some nice alcohol stops. The best thing I can say is I went back to some of our stops to make purchases. There was enough food without it being over facing and the walks between each stop allowed the food to settle nicely. I would definitely recommend this.

    Really good food tour of York. Ben was full of knowledge about food and local history. Highlights of the tour were the tacos from the Shambles Market, cheese tasting and the mushy peas from the chippy. Catering for special dietary needs was not a problem. Was also good how in every place that we visited you felt like a VIP as you were whisked to a table and staff were very attentive in telling you about what you were eating.

    We had a lovely morning. Not only was the food delicious and quite varied in terms of cuisine, but we also saw a lot of York in the process. Ben was extremely passionate and knowledgeable about York and it's culture, and gave us more excellent recommendations which we tried later on our trip. Definitely worth the money, thanks Ben for the tour!

    Had the pleasure of meeting Ben today, for the York on a Fork tour. He was great company and very passionate about York and its food and drink culture. All the food was amazing but we particularly enjoyed the tacos from the street food stall in the Shambles and then the beef filled yorkshire pudding with a glass of real ale, at the Chopping Block! Thoroughly recommend!
