I took the Chocolate Tasting Trip in Paris with Secret Food Tours in early July and it exceeded every expectation. The experience was rich in flavour, culture, and storytelling. We started at a beautifully appointed local chocolatier, where I sampled truffles so rich they melted in your mouth. The artisanal taste is something you simply can't replicate at home. Our guide was both warm and knowledgeable—walking us through each tasting with the right mix of technical insight (e.g. bean origin, cocoa percentages) and charming anecdotes about Parisian chocolate history. Each stop included not only tasting but also small backstories—whether about traditional French chocolate-making or hidden gems only local Parisians know about. The group was small, the walk between stops balanced well with tasting sessions, and there was never a rushed moment. 
 Highly recommend, especially if you’re a chocoholic with a taste for discovery.

My husband and I did the London SOHO food tour and it was a highlight of our trip! We had 5 stops with one bonus stop. We were able to try a wide variety of international cuisines and all the food was delicious. We were completely stuffed by the end of the tour! We did the drink upgrade and I would highly recommended that. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of historical and local context around the food we were trying and engaged in really interesting discussions with our group. The restaurants were also able to accommodate someone in our group with food allergies. Will definitely book another tour for our next trip!

I’ve done Secret Food Tours in Barcelona, Rome, Milan, Lisbon, and New York, and each one has been an absolute highlight of my travels. The guides are always passionate, knowledgeable, and fun — it feels like exploring the city with a local friend who knows all the hidden gems. From sipping vermouth in Barcelona, to devouring perfect pasta in Rome, risotto in Milan, and pastel de nata in Lisbon — every tour has been a delicious and cultural deep dive. New York brought its own multicultural flavor, and I loved discovering the city's lesser-known foodie spots. Secret Food Tours isn’t just about eating (though the food is amazing!) — it’s about storytelling, history, and genuine local connection. I’ll definitely be booking more tours in other cities — it’s now a must-do for me whenever I travel!
