Eating is a basic human need, so why not make it an exciting part of your life and travel experiences. There are plenty of websites and travel guides that provide tips on the best restaurants around the world. However, they rarely tell you about the mom and pop locations that have been operating for generations; the hole in the wall places you may normally be afraid to visit; or street food that someone wrongly told you not to eat.
Food tours allow you to experience food that you cannot find in the touristy parts of town and helps you open your mind and palate to new yumminess. When possible, I always make time for a cultural experience through food and I have never regretted it.
