鈥淚 love Cardiff. It鈥檚 been my home for over 40 years and it鈥檚 a joy to take people from all over the world鈥痑round the city. Not only do they find out about our food/drink and way of life but while chatting, eating鈥痑nd walking I learn a lot about their countries as well. I also love it when local people join us and at the end of the tour they tell me not only have they enjoyed the food but are amazed at finding out facts about Cardiff that they had no idea about 鈥 even though they live here.鈥
