The standard five green circles of rating that TripAdvisor allow you to select is not enough when it comes to the experience myself and my friend have just had. I took my mate, Lewis, out to Durham for the food tour and it was absolutely fantastic. Julie, our tour guide, was brilliant and told us some really cool stories about the city that we didn't know. Anyone reading this. Do it. Birthdays, stags, or just some something new. Do it... My score: 11/10. Thanks for making my mate's stag a great one. Dave

Another fabulous tour! I’ve previously done the Newcastle tour with Triple A and loved it so me and my friend travelled from opposite ends of the UK to do the Durham one. Absolutely loved it! Definitely no scrimping on the food or drink. We started off with a variety of homemade sausage rolls and a Baileys iced coffee from a quirky gift shop/deli. Then a lock in at the wine shop in the market. Loved this place! Then Mexican tapas - best margaritas! Then Chinese fusion and more wine. And finished with some Marco Pierre White desserts (and more wine). There were only four of us in the group but think that was lovely as we all got on well. I can’t fault these tours. Will definitely be doing more! Shout out to Donna, our tour guide. Perfect balance of a little bit of local info and leaving us to enjoy the food and drink at each venue. 10/10

A Christmas present for my wife and what a fascinating wander around Durham. Our guide Julie was very knowledgeable and a very professional friendly guide. The first stop delivered an excellent breakfast butty in sourdough bread. The wine shop in the market provided great wine and an interesting conversation about wines. The restaurant that we had not come across before was the Barrio Comida and what an amazing find. Great food and a fantastic view of the cathedral. With 2 more stops on our tour, we were absolutely stuffed by the time we had finished and didn't eat again until the following day. We even had to take a doggy bag away with us from our dessert stop. Julie also shared some interesting facts and stories about Durham during the tour. If you are in Durham and looking for a gentle wander around the city with regular stops for food and drink then this is the tour for you. The great news is that there are also food tours in Newcastle which are now on our to do list

A lovely family day in Durham with Triple A Food Tours. From a unique 'artisan' cafe breakfast to Mexican tacos to Asian fusion and finally to delicious deserts all accompanied by plentiful tipples. Durham is a great city to wander and Julie our guide, gave us lots of little sound bites on the history surrounding us. This was my third Triple A Food Tour and my favourite, my wife (vegetarian) preferred the Newcastle Tour but to be honest they've all been brilliant. Great tour with great food, tea, hot toddy's, margaritas, wine and a charming guide, perfect!! Eight of us all scored it 10/10. Looking forward to Ouseburn March 24.

We are great fans of Food Tours and choose to join them whenever we visit a new city. On our way to Northumberland, we chose the Durham Food Tour and had a great afternoon. A friendly and knowledgeable guide Julie led us through the city, stopping for food and drink in 5 different places. Great food, plenty of it, and a great overview of Durham. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Booked this tour for my partner’s birthday and couldn’t have been more delighted. Julie went above and beyond to make sure we and the other guests had a great time. Loads of food sampling and LOADS of drinking! Got a couple of birthday surprises along the way so thanks to Julie for organising it. Definitely recommend it and will certainly book again in the future.
