If you’re travelling to another city or country, doing a food tour can be a great way to discover a place from a different perspective. A regular city tour is interesting but it’s not always engaging or interactive, so here are the five reasons why you should take a food tour. Not just any food tour obviously, book a Delicious Dublin Food Tour of course!
5 Reasons Why You Should Take a Food Tour
1. Get Tips from a Local
Everybody has to eat but it’s even better if you can be guaranteed some delicious food. It can be daunting to look for a place by yourself though and much easier to let a local do the job for you. Your food tour guide is a local expert on the places you visit during the tour but can also give you plenty of recommendations for the rest of your trip. We advise to book a food tour for the first day of your trip!
2. Support local businesses
There’s no point going abroad and eating in the same faceless international chains that you can visit in your hometown. By taking a Delicious Dublin Tour you support small independently owned businesses and can have a positive impact on the local economy.
3. Find places you can’t find on your own
It’s great to tick off all the places recommended in your guidebooks but what about hidden gems and places that are a bit off the beaten track?
4. Small groups
At Delicious Dublin Tours we’re not about mass tourism. Our groups are small (maximum 15) which means you can hear your guide and don’t feel lost in a big group of people.
5. Meet other travelers
Julia Child was right in saying ‘People who love to eat are always the best people.’ When you join a food tour you can be sure that fellow travelers in the group will have something to talk about: food. It’s a universal subject and one over which you can make friends for the rest of your trip and beyond!
