Amazing for locals and visitors.
Amazing. Doesn’t matter if you’re local or a visitor this tour is amazing. Focused on local produce and venues from start to finish this is a great way to taste what NI has to offer. Our guide was amazing as were the venues and suppliers.

It was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Barry was our tour guide and he was knowledgable and fun. we made 5 spots with generous samples of award winning chocolate, hard cider special potatoes, cheese and spreads lamb stew and of course a Guinness. walked a a comfortable pace and saw some city sites. Well worth it !!
Response from the operator: Thanks for the amazing review! I'm sure Barry will love to read this! It's great to hear you had fun while in Belfast! Thanks again.

Thank you Ray you made our day!
My husband and I did this tour on a very pleasant day in September and had a wonderful time. Our tour guide was Ray and she was fantastic. It was a brilliant mix of tasty food, hearing about the history of Belfast and uncovering some hidden gems in our city. I have never done a food tour before but this has made me want to do more in other cities. You get so much food and it felt like great value for money. I was very impressed by Ray's consideration for all of her group - she was an absolute pro. I would highly recommend this to anyone local or to visiting. Come hungry!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! That's a brilliant review and we really appreciate you taking the time to leave this. Rae is a real expert and has been doing this for years so we're glad you enjoyed her being your guide for the morning and that you managed to find some hidden gems! We'd love to have you back to try one of our other tours!

Great tour with wonderful food and history.
This was an excellent tour. Not only did we sample some wonderful local favorite foods, but also learned the history of the area and explored some of downtown Belfast. Our guide, Liam, was very knowledgeable and pleasant. I highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Thanks for taking the time to leave a lovely review! I've no doubt Liam will be really happy to hear you enjoyed the tour!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Taste & Tour: The original Belfast Food Tour™️ with drinks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Belfast.
How much does Taste & Tour: The original Belfast Food Tour™️ with drinks cost?
+
Prices start at $119 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Belfast usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Taste & Tour: The original Belfast Food Tour™️ with drinks take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Belfast is not rushed.
Is Taste & Tour: The original Belfast Food Tour™️ with drinks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 43 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Belfast, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Taste & Tour: The original Belfast Food Tour™️ with drinks?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Taste & Tour: The original Belfast Food Tour™️ with drinks suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Taste & Tour: The original Belfast Food Tour™️ with drinks?
+
Around 15 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Belfast can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Belfast and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Taste & Tour: The original Belfast Food Tour™️ with drinks start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Belfast within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Belfast?
+
On Outty we rank every Belfast experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include A History of Terror - Belfast City Centre Walking Tour, Belfast Black Taxi Tour: Private Journey Through History, Belfast's Political Mural Taxi Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Belfast?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Belfast?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Taste & Tour: The original Belfast Food Tour™️ with drinks?
+
Included: 2 x locally brewed beers with artisan sausage roll; Belfast Breakfast Bap with tea or coffee; Smoked Salmon, Locally churned butter and rapeseed oils; Locally distilled rum drink; and Award-winning Hot Chocolate and sweet treat. Not included: Private transportation; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Taste & Tour: The original Belfast Food Tour™️ with drinks?
+
Meet at the sliding doors on Oxford Street entrance of St George's Market. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Taste & Tour: The original Belfast Food Tour™️ with drinks offered in?
+
