Very knowledgeable!
Kay was really knowledgeable, loved all the history she gave us, it wasn't just about food! Booked it for my husband's birthday as a surprise with some family, we all really enjoyed it!

An interactive food tour to enjoy the city
A lovely way to discover York! We had a lovely afternoon exploring York with Kay from Yorkshire Appetite Food Tours. It was a great mix of delicious food, interesting places and stories about the city. Kay was friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole experience really enjoyable. A brilliant way to discover some of York's independent food spots while learning a little more about the city along the way. Would definitely recommend!

Yummy Tour of York!
A great way to learn about the food scene in York. We love to book tours like this early in our stay in a city, so we can learn about restaurants we want to go back to. Kay, our guide, made this such a fun activity - took us to amazing small restaurants (and a bustleing food market/court. She gave us history of the city and the food venues themselves - a variety of cuisines. Kay was attentive to everyone in the group and took care in helping a member of the tour with food sensitivities.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
York Walking Food Tasting Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for York.
How much does York Walking Food Tasting Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $102 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does York Walking Food Tasting Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 York is not rushed.
Is York Walking Food Tasting Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 78 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule York Walking Food Tasting Tour?
+
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 York Walking Food Tasting Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book York Walking Food Tasting Tour?
+
Around 27 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 York 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 York and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does York Walking Food Tasting Tour 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 York 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 York?
+
On Outty we rank every York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mad Alice’s The Bloody Tour of York -Best Tour Award Europe, The Deathly Dark Tour of York, Shadows of York: Ghost Walk and Horrible History.. 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 York?
+
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 York?
+
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 York Walking Food Tasting Tour?
+
Included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for York Walking Food Tasting Tour?
+

What languages is York Walking Food Tasting Tour offered in?
+

+
