Meet Tais: Our newest Leeds & York tour guide
May 03, 2026
We’re excited to introduce the newest member of the Leeds Food Tours team…meet Tais!
Tais officially joined us in April and has already hit the ground running, leading his very first tour for TransUnion® (with Ellen, Leeds Food Tours owner, shadowing). And honestly, he absolutely smashed it.
With years of experience in hospitality, Tais brought a level of warmth and professionalism that immediately stood out. From the moment guests arrived, he created a welcoming atmosphere and made sure everyone felt comfortable, relaxed, and looked after throughout the experience.
Whether it was keeping drinks topped up or sharing thoughtful recommendations, nothing felt forced; it all came incredibly naturally to him.
What really makes Tais special is his genuine passion for Leeds’ food and drink scene. Every stop on the tour came to life through his storytelling, sharing the background, ethos, and unique details behind each venue.
It’s the kind of insight that turns a great food tour into a truly memorable experience.
And when we say Tais knows Leeds… we really mean it.
He’s been to what feels like every bar and restaurant in the city, has built fantastic relationships with chefs and restaurant owners, and is full of insider knowledge you won’t find anywhere else. If there’s a hidden gem in Leeds, chances are Tais already knows about it (and probably knows the owner too!).
