サフランウォルデンのタウンフードツアー

This tour was excellent I recommend it without reservation. Rachel took us on a fascinating and leisurely tour of the town visiting beautifully selected stop offs with food and drink producers who create exceptional food and drink. We were perfectly full by the end and every taste and sample was delicious. The other exceptional aspect is Rachel’s impressive experience in the industry and her ability to inspire us all with her friendly and knowledgeable commentary. Her relationships with providers was very clear. There were 5 of us. We want to do another good tour with Rachel soon. Brilliant fun and great value. We learned a lot

A truly wonderful food tour! The 6 independent artisans had exquisite food and/or drink to sample. The food tour was lead by a historically knowledgeable food expert. So great to be introduced to all of them (some you'd never stumble across when exploring Saffron Walden yourselves). So good we returned on market day to gather some food to take home and, revive ourselves by having brunch.

This was a special Food Tour designed for a local society. A group of 10 members enjoyed a fantastic experience with Rachel where there was lots of surprise information provided by Rachel in a very fun way. The food stops were extremely well organised and all were delicious. Highly recommended.

I’ve lived in the area for nearly 30 years and yet Rachel brought Saffron Walden into vivid light! Absolutely wonderful combination of good food, interesting drinks and yummy treats plus history! Great afternoon, I thoroughly recommend!

Rachel told us about the history of one of the oldest markets in Englands and then took us to stalls to hear their stories and taste their wares. What an interesting bunch. An ex-electrician who sells cheese, an ex-banker who sells coffee: and you have to find out what the sausage founder used to do.: they all have passion for their wares in common. Some start ups (first time in the market) and others there for 3 generations. We went back after the tour and bought something from every store we visited! A wonderful way (despite the early start to avoid the crowds) to discover excellent quality food.

This was our second food tour with Rachel. ( 1st was Saffron Walden about a year ago). In both cases her knowledge of the history ,coloured by local anecdotes, shone through. We visited at least 8 venues, sampling delicious food along the way, generally chatting with the owners or staff. The variety of locations was great, and the quality of food was varied, tasty, and VERY generous! Would highly recommend!

A very enjoyable way to spend a few hours in a lovely town. Our guide Rachrl was enthusiastic and informative. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour

Rachel was 5 star. Hugely knowledgeable about the history of Saffron Walden and knew all the independent eateries which were excellent. Would highly recommend.

I attended the Saffron Walden Food Tour with my parents in December, and it genuinely exceeded my expectations. Rachel was an excellent guide – incredibly knowledgeable about Saffron Walden, its history, and of course all things food. She struck the perfect balance between storytelling and local insight, which made the whole experience feel rich and engaging rather than rushed or touristy. We were taken to some fantastic local eateries, where we sampled a generous amount of delicious food along the way - far more than I expected. It was a lovely way to explore the town, support local businesses, and discover places we might not otherwise have tried. I’ve been raving about this tour to everyone I’ve spoken to since, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to both locals and visitors alike. A brilliant experience from start to finish.

I live in Saffron Walden with my husband and had 4 friends visiting from London for the weekend. I convinced them to come early on Friday morning so we could do the food walking tour with Rachel. The tour was amazing in so many ways. Rachel was enthusiastic, authentic and fun. She brought a depth of knowledge about the town and the area and provided interesting historical facts as well as telling the stories of the various venues / people that we visiting. The different food venues were lovely and the owners gave us attention as well as drawing us into their stories, even for just a while. The food was delicious in every venue. We bought bread and fish and will certainly return for more. A thoroughly memorable experience. Thank you, Rachel.
