Whether you are in Paris or just on a local weekend getaway, you can almost always find a quality food tour from a great food tour referral or by utilizing travel review sites like http://www.tripadvisor.com or http://www.google.com
One of the many great things about taking a food tour is that you will often find places that you wouldn’t have found on your own. You could venture down alleys and stumble upon a restaurant or market that you didn’t know existed. Taking a food tour will offer a deep dive to the culture of an area through their cuisine and the tour guide is also a city ambassador that will fill your mind with history, architecture and cultural information along the way.
