We have just recently sampled The Cambridge Food Tour having had to re-arrange it from earlier in the year, due to Covid. Gerla, our tour guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable, sharing details of many popular and not so well known eateries in and around Cambridge. The tour started with a delicious Chelsea bun from Fitzbillies and we were taken to various parts of Cambridge including the market place and the hidden gem that is Mill Road. Here we were treated to our personal highlight of the tour, a trip to the fantastic Maurizio Restaurant, with authentic Italian food and drink served up with expert guidance from Maurizio himself. We will certainly be going back!
We ended the tour with a visit to Calverley's Brewery, where we had a sampling of their refreshing original Pale Ales.
The tour has given us a taste of Cambridge's eclectic food scene and has whetted the appetite for a return visit.

Hello Laura

I just noticed that the response was rejected by Tripadvisor so I am posting it again. I hope that you are well.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review. My apologies I didn't pick this up earlier, but TripAdvisor doesn't send notifications anymore. I am glad you enjoyed the foodie stops on the tour. Maurizio is definitely a hit. I can highly recommend revisiting again.

In the meantime have a lovely time over Christmas. Check out the Cambridge Travel Guide.

Hello Jan,

Thank you for your review!

I am glad your husband and his friend had a great time on the Gin Tour. It did put a smile on my face as it is not often that wives don't chip in! Maybe an excuse to come back? I hope that you had a great time shopping in Cambridge. It is a lovely place to spend the day.

Don't forget to check out the Free Map of Cambridge which includes our favourite foodie places in Cambridge and I update it on a regular basis so you always have the best of Cambridge in your pocket.

We booked the gin tour on a wet Saturday with another large group.
The other group were very hospitable as was our charming and very informative hostess Camilla.
We visited some fab places for gins and food.
Food wise we had great slow cooked meat sandwiches at Meat n Bread. Had some good street food at the market after and finally a fab lunch at the recently opened Spanish restaurant Mercado Centrale.
Bars we went to were great too with knowledgeable and engaging staff.
This tour was a gift to us and we will definitely do this again and bring friends too.
Keep up the good work.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review and for your kind words. It is much appreciated. I am glad that you had a great time and that you are planning to return one day. We run 6 different tours and about to relaunch one of them, which will focus on a new area of Cambridge.

Looking forward to having you back!

We had an amazing half day walking the streets of, mainly, central Cambridge. Tasting Chelsea buns, roast meats, pizzas, falafels, cheeses and black pudding. It was such an eye opener. My shopping trips to Cambridge have changed forever!

Good afternoon,

Thank you for posting our first review of the year. I am so glad, that you had a great time and that your shopping trips will be so much better now. There are so many fantastic foodie places in Cambridge, that it might be a good excuse to come just for them. Keep an eye out on our Facebook page as there will be a lot of new businesses open soon.

Thanks to a voucher from friends to celebrate my 60th birthday we booked a Food Tour for 4 family members. Camilla was our guide. We had the most amazing experience. Despite having lived near Cambridge for 26 years, we visited places we had never been to before. The Tour was an excellent mix of delicious food with a bit of local history thrown in by Camilla, who was an absolutely brilliant guide. If you like your food mixed in with good company and a bit of a laugh, I would thoroughly recommend this experience.

Morning,

Thank you for your email over the weekend too. It is always lovely to hear back from our guests. I am so pleased that you have had a great time and that we could share some which you didn't know about. It is always a difficult choice, who to include as there are so many great places in Cambridge. Hence I have created the Free Map of Cambridge to highlight all the amazing places. Please, do check it out and I will update it on a regular basis and I only list the places which we like. If something changes, then I will update it as I only want you to have the best experience.
