Ever find yourself leaving a city a bit frustrated you weren’t able to try all of the destination’s great culinary offerings? A culinary city tour can ensure you get a taste of every regional culinary delight you’ve dreamed of, plus more.
If you’re in San Francisco, try an award-winning Local Tastes of the City tour. They offer walking tours of both San Francisco’s North Beach/Little Italy area and Chinatown. In the latter, you’ll find handcrafted fortune cookies, authentic dim sum and exotic teas. Choose the former and you’ll be whisked away into a world of local olive oils, family-owned bake shops and fresh cappuccinos.
Quebec City Food Tours brings you a new take on a destination you might overlook on your culinary journeys. The short walking tour takes you to six different locations, including the home of the world’s best poutine, a microbrewery and local cheese shop. The tour is $50 for adults, $35 for adolescents and is vegetarian-friendly.
Of course, you would expect Europe to have spectacular food tours as well, given the immense amount of gastronomic culture. Try Eating Italy the next time you’re in Rome, for several tour options. The Daylight Trastevere Food tour takes you through four hours of 10 different tastings, plus a stop at a local food market. Sample homemade pasta, wine, fresh pastries and gourmet gelato. The tour operator offers a four-course, local-ingredient cooking class as well!
Wherever you find yourself, a food tour can introduce you to your new favorite restaurant or bakery.
