What\u2019s a food tour?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Although it might seem too good to be true, a food tour is just what it sounds like: touring several restaurants and eateries and sampling the best of each. Your tour guide will hand pick the best local hot spots and walk you from one to the next. Learn about the history of the area and the cuisine along the way, and end up with a full tummy \u2014 and a list of new favorite restaurants!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Some of our tours highlight specific neighborhoods or sections of town, while others hone in on specialty items to delight the connoisseurs (chocolate tour, anyone?).
