How to pick a good food tour

  1. Skip a big meal beforehand: most tours serve the equivalent of lunch or dinner across six to ten stops.
  2. Small groups of 12 or fewer get served faster and fit into tiny counters and bars.
  3. Check what's included. Some tours count drinks as stops, others charge for them on the day.
  4. Ask about dietary swaps before you book. Many tours can replace meat or gluten dishes if they know ahead.
