Food Tours
A guided food tour is one of the best ways to eat like a local without any of the guesswork.
Not sure where to start eating in a new city? A good food tour hands you a curated route, a knowledgeable guide, and usually a few dishes you’d never have found on your own.
What to Know About Food Tours
- Small groups are worth seeking out. — A tour of six to ten people gets you more time with the guide and better access to small vendors than a large bus group.
- Go early in your trip. — A food tour on day one or two gives you a crash course in the local food scene you can build the rest of your trip around.
- Come hungry, not full. — Most tours include several tastings across multiple stops, so skip the big breakfast beforehand.
- Mention dietary restrictions in advance. — Good operators can usually accommodate vegetarian, vegan, or allergy needs if you tell them ahead of time.
- Ask your guide for more recommendations. — They’re usually happy to point you toward other spots worth checking out later in your trip.
