Conwy has long had a foodie reputation. This tour is a splendid mixture of history spiced up with visits to specialist food venues.
Beginning outside the famous world heritage castle we'll hear about the Norman conquest of Wales then we tour the medieval streets learning the fascinating history of my home town.
We'll pop in to venues such as the chocolatiers who supply Harrods, award-winning butchers the purveyors of marvellous pies or the renowned local maker whose family came from Italy a few generations ago and are still supplying the best ice-cream around. We may pop in to Pobty Conwy Bakery and get a bag of their delicious Welsh Cakes warm from the oven. When you get thirsty we'll visit the winner of the Best Independent Off-licence in Britain or the only pub in Britain owned by a consortium of micro breweries and enjoy a tasting.
We'll stroll down to the quayside amidst the lobster and prawn pots learning all about Conwy mussels and their traditional harvest methods. Of course we'll make a photo-stop at the smallest House in Great Britain.
I'll point out the best of our local restaurants and food outlets so you can decide between fine-dining local mussels or fresh fish and chips eaten watching the boats.

What we provide: Tastes of local delicacies such as pies, cheese, chocolate and ice cream plus local beer
