    We booked a self-guided 'Hidden Gem' tour, not knowing where we would be visiting or what we would be eating. Our first stop was at Delhi Wala where we could pick a dish from the Street Food section ( £6.50), although there were quite a few options that weren't included. Having said that, the food was tasty and it was a good start. Second up was Stuzzi where we had an arancini each (£5 - not sure if that was the cost for one or two). Really tasty. Drinks here quite pricey. Third up was Sweet Saeeda where you had a choice of sandwiches (£6.50) but it was one to share. Although it was nice it was very small. Next was The Cheesy Living Co at the Corn Exchange. This was excellent and the only one I would return to. The platter was so well presented, the cheese and accompaniments were excellent. The owner (?) was lovely and the wine we had with it was really good. No idea what the value was. Next up was Sqew. Great friendly staff and a gut busting portion (about £12 each I think) , although not the kind of food we usually eat and I definitely wouldn't again. Kebab meat, chips and salad isn't really showcasing a 'Hidden Gem'. Our final stop, which we were looking forward to, was Roberto Gelato. However, when we got there at 4.30 it was already closed. Really disappointed as we had read it closed at 5pm. Although I know we could use the token for this on another day we don't live in Leeds and had travelled there specifically for the tour so that isn' an option. Overall it was an okay afternoon but, for a self-guided tour, was very overpriced. With two of the venues in the market and two others being kebab meat and Indian Street food, I don't see how this was different to the actual street food tour. I'm sure Leeds has far better venues to showcase. Wouldn't recommend the tour but would definitely recomment The Cheesy Living Co.

    We went on the hidden gems tour on 6th July as part of my daughters hen do celebrations. Would totally recommend, Lynda was a great guide and we had a lot of fun. Lots of quirky places that I had never been to before despite living around Leeds for many years. Nice touch was the little extras that were added to the tour, tailored to the people on our tour . Just the right number of people in our group. My husband very jealous so may be going again as I understand there are lots of different venues! Thanks again for making our day so memorable.

    We booked the tour as a surprise for our best friends birthday and we are so glad we did. Lynda our guide was super friendly and very knowledgeable. All 6 stops were fantastic and it was impossible o pick a favourite as all of them offered something different and delicious. Lynda and Leeds Food Tours along with the venues went above and beyond for my friends birthday and had lots of little surprises along the way to make it extra special. Its these touches that mean so much and I would happily recommend this tour to someone visiting the area or to a fellow local as a fun way to explore new places in your local area. I am allergic to wheat and diary and that was not a problem at all. I was catered for at every stop and Lynda made sure I was ok with all the food provided. I cant rave enough about this tour. We all loved it and will definitely be back on one of their other tours.

    This was a brilliant tour led by our guide Lynda who was super knowledgable about the facts of Leeds. Great food, great company and great idea for a day out in Leeds. I bought lots of foodie presents and could have spent much longer at each venue. Thank you
