Frequently Asked Questions
What is a food tour?
It’s a walking feast through the heart of a city. Secret Food Tours are led by local guides who know every hidden gem, backstreet bakery, and neighborhood story. You’ll taste iconic dishes, discover spots only locals love, and finish full of both food and insider knowledge. Every tour includes a surprise “Secret Dish” revealed only on the tour.
Do you offer private, group or corporate tours and events?
Yes! We create private food tours for couples, families, and corporate groups looking for something special or a unique holiday event. Whether it’s a birthday, team outing, or culinary adventure with friends, we’ll design a custom experience. Just contact us and we can run through your requirements.
How long is the tour, and how much walking is involved?
Most of our food tours last about 3 to 4 hours, with plenty of time to eat, explore, and soak up the city. We keep the pace easy, think neighborhood stroll - not a sprint. There are breaks at each stop and our guides always know where to find a shady bench or a second espresso if you need one. Comfortable shoes recommended, appetite required.
Who should join a food tour?
Anyone who loves to eat, explore, and connect. Our food tours are perfect for solo travelers, couples, families, and groups of friends who want to skip the tourist traps and taste the real city. Our small groups (usually 10–12 people maximum) make it easy to meet others and share the experience. More like dining with friends than following a guide with a flag. We also host private tours for birthdays, team outings, or anyone craving a more custom experience.
What does “small group” mean?
Our food tours usually host around 10 to 12 guests. Just the right size to feel like a group of friends, not a crowd. You’ll have plenty of time to chat with your guide, ask questions, and actually hear the stories behind each stop. Big bus or large groups tours? Not our style.
Why should I book a food tour with Secret Food Tours?
We’re the world’s largest independent food tour company, operating in 100 cities and growing. Each city is run by passionate food lovers who believe the best way to know a place is through its cuisine. Every tour is local-led, filled with authentic stops, and topped off with our signature Secret Dish.
Do you offer gift certificates or can I buy a food tour as a gift?
Of course. Our food tour gift cards work for any city around the world - perfect for holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, or that friend who’s always planning their next trip. Even though they are sold in GBP (£), they can be redeemed for any food tour. We also offer food tour vouchers for our tours. Our food tour vouchers allow you to purchase the value of a ticket - great to gift! - that can be redeemed at a later date for a ticket to join a tour. Select the gift voucher option when selecting your tour to buy a voucher.
