Sian was a great guide, full of local knowledge, guiding us round the centre of Cardiff to sample some delicious Welsh food and drink. We walked, we sat, we chatted and we ate. Would highly recommend.
We had the best time walking through Cardiff and sampling local food. Our guide provided history, stories and interesting comments about local events and personalities. Loved learning bits about the architecture and evolution of the downtown pedestrian shopping/restaurant core. We will further explore on our own.
Thank you for your lovely review. I'm so pleased that you enjoyed all aspects of the tour. Great that you will exploring on your own. Many thanks, diolch yn fawr.
For timing reasons, I booked a private tour for me and my son. We were lucky that Nerys was our guide. She was fantastic. Her history and experience with food and culture was really interesting to us. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for the fabulous review, I'm delighted that you enjoyed the tour. I totally agree with you about Nerys, we are lucky to have her as one of our guides. Diolch yn fawr.
We had such a great time! Sian (hopefully I spelled that correctly ) was so fun and knowledgeable about Cardiff. I highly recommend this food tour!!!
I'm so glad that you enjoyed the tour - spelling is perfect, many thanks. Thank you also for the recommendation - much appreciated. Diolch.
My husband and I had an awesome tour with Sian! She provided lots of great and fun stories of Cardiff and what it’s been like living there over time. She had a wealth of knowledge that she shared but also was very interested in her people. The food choices were also very delicious! For anyone visiting, this tour provides a different way to experience Wales instead of history tour after history tour. Highly recommend!
Many thanks for the lovely review and recommendation, diolch yn fawr iawn. I'm so glad that you enjoyed all aspects of the tour and the food ! We try to include information in an entertaining and tasty way. Diolch eto. Thank you again. Sian
Excellent experience delving into a variety of Welsh food with a great background regarding the history and cultural implications of each food item. Ieuan Rhys not only was passionate about the food and the history of Cardiff, Wales, but he interacted personally with each tour member. Furthermore, he made the experience not only memorable but intimate with his willingness to share personal experiences and stories. He was genuinely interested in where each tour member was from and he asked many questions about where everyone was from in the world. I cannot recommend this walking food tour enough!
Dear Matthew. Thank you for much for the lovely review about the Cardiff Tasting Tour and our guide, Ieuan Rhys. We're lucky to have him as one of the Loving Welsh Food tour. Many thanks for the recommendation also. Diolch yn fawr.
We've been on many food walking tours and this one is highly recommended. Sian was very welcoming, down to earth and extremely passionate about showcasing Welsh Food & Drink. She's a superb ambassador for the city and the tour group had a great time despite the lousy weather.
Thank you for the fabulous review and recommendation, very much appreciated. We're lucky in Cardiff to have the beautiful arcades that are not only stunning to look at, but also handy for the rain! Many thanks, diolch. Sian
An excellent and well organised tour. The food was tasty and we were given interesting facts regarding production and ingredients. The guide told us the history of the different locations in a lively and entertaining manner.
Many thanks for your review, much appreciated. I'm delighted that you enjoyed the tour. We aim to offer a tour combining tastings of food and drink, information about the products, Welsh cuisine and some fun facts about Cardiff and Wales. Diolch eto, many thanks.
Absolutely brilliant morning sampling some of Cardiff food highlights. Sian was a delight, so friendly, informative, and knowledgeable. We loved learning more about the history of Cardiff. The food stops were exceptional, so much so, we went back to one of them to buy more!! Met some lovely people too and it's inspired me to learn some Welsh! We'll be recommending this to everyone ☺️
Thank you so much for the fabulous review - much appreciated. I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the tour and went back to buy more at one of the venues. We only work with local, independent businesses so it's great that our guests continue to support them. We had a great group on Saturday. Thank you also for recommending the tour and all the best with the Welsh - pob hwyl! We are looking to run Welsh language tours in 2025 so hope to see you again. Diolch yn fawr, many thanks.
Such an amazing way to learn about the history of Cardiff and sample delicious Welsh food along the way. Siân is great fun and we met interesting people too.
Thank you for the fabulous description of the tour - I'm so glad that you enjoyed the tour and the tastings. We had a great group on Saturday - food tours are always a great way of getting to know a city and also to meet fellow foodies! Many thanks, diolch yn fawr. Sian
