Summary: Myself and two friends had a fabulous food tour in Durham with TripleA. Our tour guide (Julie) was super at organising us, sharing very interesting local historical information and adapting to the situation (it was quite cold outside and she made sure we were not exposed for too long without missing anything). The venues were varied in terms of cuisine and decor which was great. The food was amazing with lots of lovely small plates to share and all venues had unique qualities in terms of their historical and architectural nature. The only improvement we could suggest would be a less one dimensional dessert as whilst the trio was lovely, it was all cake based. Having said that, the whole day was amazing and we are already looking at which tour we will do next with TripleA. Thank you to TripleA and our lovely guide Julie from Sam, Claire and Nicola
