Frequently Asked Questions

Is a food tour in Cambridge worth it?

Absolutely! There’s no better way to experience the beautiful city of Cambridge and its culture than a food tour with a local guide.

What is the most famous food in Cambridge?

With so many tempting flavors in Cambridge, it can be tough to pick a favorite. Locals and visitors alike enjoy the city’s fresh, locally sourced produce, including seasonal vegetables, artisanal cheeses, and freshly baked breads. Cambridge is also known for its charming cafés and bakeries offering traditional British pastries and sweets, as well as hearty classic dishes like savory pies and comforting stews. The city’s culinary scene blends farm-fresh ingredients with modern twists, making it a delight for food lovers exploring the historic streets and riverside spots.

Are tourists welcome in Cambridge?

Yes, absolutely. There’s an Cambridge tradition, the passeggiata—the gentle evening stroll to see and be seen. It’s about enjoying the city’s beauty at a relaxed pace, and it’s a feeling we believe every visitor should experience in Cambridge.

You’ll find the spirit of the passeggiata from locals when you connect with the city respectfully. It’s found when you support the family-run trattorias in Trastevere, help keep the ancient fountains pristine, and learn to navigate the beautiful, organised chaos of daily life. This is the authentic Cambridge experience.

It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.

Do the tours accommodate vegetarian or gluten-free diets?
