Exceptional food tour

What a truly amazing tour! Sian has an encyclopedic knowledge regarding Welsh history, all fascinating, I could have listened to her all day. I have lived in Cardiff for nearly 40 years, who knew I knew so little about my own city! The food and drinks were all divine, and all the premises staff were so welcoming, passionate about their businesses, and informative. Everything I ate and drank today was just gorgeous, and very varied. I can’t recommend this tour enough. My advice is book it, and ar...read more

A fantastic way to experience the city’s arcades and food scene

Fab food and drink, and plenty of facts!

Sian is a fantastic tour guide. She made everyone feel involved and included, even in a big group of 12! She took us to some great places for some gorgeous food and drink and she had lots of interesting facts too about the history of Cardiff and the arcades themselves. Would highly recommend this tour!

Informative, educational, unique & fun tour exploring Cardiff’s historic arcades

Excellent tour of Cardiff! Sian our tour guide was kind, funny & really informative of Cardiff’s arcades. The variety of Welsh stores with so much delicious food and drinks were brilliant! Having lived in Cardiff all my life, I learned more about the history of the city and about some of the local businesses which was great. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who would like to visit Cardiff and learn about its history in a unique and enjoyable way! 10/10

City of Arcades tour.

My husband and I really enjoyed the whole experience. Our guide Leuan was great. If I can be picky, the "olives, hommus" experience in the Cardiff Market was a bit challenging as the market was busy at the time. But we will be recommending it for our family and friends. Thank you.
