Have you ever been on a city food tour?  It’s a fantastic way to see a city and to taste its culinary delights.  Usually in small groups of about 10, a guide will take you around the city stopping to taste and talk to producers about their produce.

You’ll meet artisan producers, specialist retailers, and have an insight into markets and street food vendors you’d never normally find.  Most give a talk about their specialist product and of course you taste everything as you travel round.

You can find tours in most cities – we’ve experienced them in Florence, Siena, New York and Portland – as well as London.  The next we’ve planned is an East End of London tour and I’ve also got a Birmingham Balti tour in my sights too!  Always look for the best reviews on line and then book before you go.
