It was a great experience and took us to us places we would never normally have visited. We are new in the city and it is a great way to discover Milton Keynes

Surprising.

Good value. Some restaurants better than others in lots of different ways. Some more welcoming some with better food and drink some with better ambience and customer service. Great way to try restaurants I wouldn’t have otherwise been to.

Passion for wine and food!

All enthusiastic entrepreneurs with a passion for wine and food! It's nice to give as a gift and it's really fun. The service at 1 restaurant was not quite great, so that was a bit of a shame, but the other 5 were perfect.

Really nice!

The concept of the tour is fabulous!! We got to try several restaurants on our ‘hit’ list in one day. It felt strange eating, drinking then moving on but soon got into the swing of that :)
Every restaurant made us feel really welcome which is great, and I loved that you really thought of the restaurants used to make sure everyone offered something different.

I will certainly be recommending it to friends and family!

Delicious

A fun, surprising and affordable outing to do (especially with friends). It's a really good concept with the right balance of eating, drinking, chatting and still moving.

Conclusion: Well organised, delicious dishes with fine wines.
