I love a food tour! Sometimes my daughter and I fly to Miami for a weekend just for food tours of the various areas all over South Beach.
The fun thing about food tours, in addition to the samples of food, is it is a history tour as well. The tour guide is very knowledgeable about the history of the area your in.
Miami is SUPER expensive! For a continental breakfast for 3 of us was over $80 (bagels, cream cheese, fruit, juice and coffee). But, to do a food tour in the evening while there, it is enough to eat and drink at various restaurants along with the history tour that you’ve saved on dinner as well. Plus, you walk off all of the food! Food tours usually last about 3 hours.
I plan on doing 2 food tours while I’m in Rome in 2 of the the Piazzas…not sure which two yet—it depends on which Piazza food tour encompasses the specific sites we want to see along the tour. These food tours will also give a fascinating history of each of the areas.
