Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Many compliments to Taste & Tour for their excellent “Belfast Food Trail” tour. Having enjoyed your 4-hour tour, we can now see why NCL offers this tour for their cruise passengers.
Not only was the food exceptional, the sightseeing stops were also interesting and informative. Your guides Rachel and Rosie were wonderful and shared interesting stories on Belfast’s turbulent past and successful rebirth.
Every food stop was tasty and special. Who would have known that the restaurant at City Hall served excellent sausage, egg & tomato sandwiches. Next up were the chocolate artisans, and I do mean artisans, at Co Couture for outstanding hot chocolate and candies. Then open-faced sandwiches and treats at Sawyers were wonderful (it’s a great store for treats to take home). Finally, we went to a pub for tasty seafood chowder or beef stew with wine or beer. All excellent!
We highly recommend Taste & Tour of Belfast.

Rae was a fantastic guide, super entertaining and informative. The stops were well thought out, and very high quality! The chocolate maker and the cheese monger were so passionate and knowledgeable about their products it was lovely. I would recommend this to anybody!

My wife and I went on the tour on Saturday 9th September, it was really enjoyable and well organised. Dave our tour was very knowledgeable and entertaining providing a good range of info on the gins, history and context. We sampled seven different gins/cocktails so I would classify it good value for money.
Would definitely recommend.

Rae was super knowledgeable and very personable. We had a wonderful day tasting some of the many foods unique to Belfast. Rae also pointed out many landmarks and knew the histories of each.
Best shore excursion by far.

This was a birthday gift for my husband but one I could enjoy too!! Our tour was lead by Katie who was so passionate and knowledgeable in the subject of everything beer related that it made the whole experience even better. We were introduced to a great variety of beer (and loads of interesting facts!) and the food offered was great.
We finished off the tour getting to sample some of Katie's own beer which was great👌🏻
Overall a fabulous day out and one I will be recommending to others!

Absolutely loved the craft beer and food tour. Katie was so passionate about beer and there were so many cool places I had never been in Belfast. Really loved the two brew pubs we visited too and we got to try loadssss of beers. The food was great and we've already been back to the Sunflower for their pizza and beer! thank you!!!

Disappointing. We did the beer / food Taste and Tour, which one of our group had done about a year ago, and really enjoyed. However, the tour fell below expectations, and comparing the two experiences, our previous participant concluded the organisers had really cut back on what was on offer. We visited five venues, two of which provided no food. One provided a small, single slice of a savoury sausage roll each, and another provided pizza - not even enough for 2 slices each. Only the first venue provided a decent sampling of chicken wings. The last venue we visited was a shabby club. Perhaps it is a trendy local place (?), but as a tourist from overseas, it was very unimpressive; not a place I’d choose to go to. It was nice to take an afternoon walk round the city on what was a fine day, but we didn’t need to be on a tour to do so. It wasn’t an unpleasant experience, but one I wouldn’t recommend to other travellers to Belfast.

Very sorry to hear you were disappointed in the tour.
This tour does have a focus on beer and the local beer scene, and this is why it finished in Belfast's newest brewery / taproom - sorry to hear you weren't a fan of it.
With regards to the balance of food and drink - it can be tricky to manage expectations and get it right for all guests, we've had some say it's too much food and you're saying there's not enough so we will relook at it.
We will take your feedback on board and wish you all the best.

On that waiting list for a date in February. Does anyone know if cancellations are likely? Seems very popular as most of the dates between now and Easter are booked?

I’m sorry I am unable to answer this query, but I feel the best thing to do is continue to check for cancellations.
How much for tour

Hi, it was £50 per person . In my opinion it was worth it . We ended up spending the rest of the day in Belfast and have revisited places we were introduced to on the tour . Train home, perfect .

I may be being dense here, but does the total cost of the Food Tour include all food and drink, or are you expected to pay for this additionally? TIA
