A must do in Cardiff
Sian was fantastic! Engaging, interesting, amazing knowledge and experience. We not only got to taste delicious local foods, but they came from independent shops and producers. And, we got a great walk all around downtown as well as recommendations for additional meals during our stay. Learning about local foodways is such a great way to experience a new culture and history! Plus, it’s tasty!

Good Food - Fun Guide (Chris)
Chris was great. Took us to some great places to eat. The cheese store was so good, we went back the following night for dinner. If you want a good selection of food and a really good time, take the tour.

Food tour of Cardiff
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.
Operator response
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.

Private tour was worth it
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.

Awesome time
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!
Operator response
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
