If your tastes are a little bit more refined and you want to indulge in the cultural cuisine of far off places, you may want to take an indulgent food tour. If you do not have the time or resources to explore a myriad of restaurants on your own, a food and wine tour maybe the answer. 

Our food and wine tours include market visits, food and wine tastings and cooking classes. On your tour you will avoid the popular international fast-food chains and experience the finest local delicacies that are a crucial part of the local culture.

Guided food tours cater to tourists who have a desire to learn about a city or a region through its local cuisine. If you want to fully embrace the destination, you should act like a local and eat the local food. This is what separates tourists from travelers.

On your food tour you will go restaurant hopping and try so many restaurants that you probably would have needed a week to cover all of them on your own.
