Going on a food tour is one of my favorite ways to explore a new city but not all destinations offer a food tour. Here is how to plan your own food tour so that you can eat well anywhere in the world.
Being a huge fan of German cuisine and heading to Berlin, I immediately signed up for Secret Food Tours Berlin, an award-winning company that runs foodie tours worldwide that I'd heard so much about. I absolutely love doing food tours, it's the perfect introduction to a new city and their local food, it ensures you try some of the very best, you get to learn all about it and it sets you up for the rest of your time there. I have done many food tours all around the world and this one was the most indulgent yet and my personal favourite. A Foodie Experience Stop #1 This lunchtime food tour is set in the popular and trendy East Berlin neighbourhood of Friedrichshain. Our group's meeting point was in front of the U-Bahn stop Warschauer, which was very easy to find and only a few stops away from where I was staying in Alexanderplatz. Once everyone had arrived, our lovely guide Becs introduced herself and told us what to expect from our upcoming tour. We also went around in the group and said where we were from, and what our favourite food was. We headed off on a short walk to our first foodie stop of the day, a local döner shop. A döner or Berliner kebab is one of the city's specialities. Developed in Berlin in 1972, it's an adaption of the traditional Turkish-style kebab and is a pita bread pocket filled with spiced meat, salad and sauce. The shop is owned by a local Turkish family and we could see ours being freshly prepared infront of us. We each got a chicken shawarma, with a mango-curry chutney, chilli paste, homemade hummus, tzatziki and salad. The warm, soft bread, the tender meat and the combination of flavours were incredible, it's definitely one of the very best I've ever had. I couldn't believe we got to have a whole one each, as just one is a huge meal in itself! I had to try very hard not to eat it all as I knew there was a lot more food still to come. We washed it down with a Fritz-Kola, a popular German soft drink. Our tour was certainly off to an amazing start. Stop #2 Next up, Becs took us on a pleasant walk through some cool alleyways with street art and graffiti. It was great to be shown a bit more of the neighbourhood and walking bursts between food stops are always welcome! We stopped at a trendy looking restaurant and bar where we got to order a beverage of our choice. Some went for coffee, others, like me, went for a beer. When in Germany! Out came an enormous slab of freshly baked flatbread pizza, known in German as Flammkuchen, meaning 'flame cake.' When most people think pizza they think of Italy, but Germans do their crispy and smoky pizza very very well. The thin, crispy crust was so light, and the ham, sour cream and onion toppings were very moreish. I loved it! Stop #3 When we were all ready to go we were off again for our first sweet stop of the day. I was super excited walking into a traditional Turkish sweets shop with the most amazing window display. If you didn't know, Berlin's cultural mix is dominated by the Turkish community, which is the largest outside of Turkey. This brought the most excellent Turkish food to Berlin, including the best baklava I've ever tried in life! We had a very generous piece each which was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Baklava is a rich, and very sweet dessert pastry made of light layers of filo, filled with pistachio and sweetened and held together with a sticky syrup or honey. It was so good! Stop #4 Buzzed up on sugar, we continued on to another stand-up tasting of arguably Berlin's most popular street food, Currywurst. What would a Berlin food tour be without a Currywurst stop? This typical snack consists of a fried pork sausage (or Bratwurst), cut into slices and seasoned with curry ketchup, with curry powder sprinkled on top. We had two different kinds to share, one was a slightly milder sauce and the other was spicier. Both were fantastic in my opinion! There were quite a few people lining up at the street stall so it was definitely a popular place to get it from. Stop #5 Off to our final stop of the day, we sat in a busy restaurant and bar which had a cool and sociable atmosphere. We could order another drink of our choice and I opted for a local beer. Out came delicious looking schnitzel sandwiches in a burger-style. The bread roll was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the crumbed schnitzel was juicy and the cucumber, lettuce and sauce pulled the whole thing together. Every bite was amazing! I was officially full to the brim by now but there is ALWAYS room for dessert and my all-time favourite just happened to come out! We finished off with a slice of Käsekuchen, which is German baked cheesecake. It was light, creamy and basically a gift sent from the gods. It was the perfect way to finish and everyone was highly satisfied after a fantastic three hours of trying so many highlights of Berlin's top cuisine. Becs gave us a handy booklet with tips and recommendations on the best places to eat for the rest of our time in Berlin which was a very nice touch. The tour ended directly across the road from Oberbaumbrücke, a red double-deck bridge crossing the River Spree. It's also the location of the very beginning of the East Side Gallery, which is the perfect activity to do after the food tour. It's a protected open-air gallery along the longest remaining part of the Berlin Wall. The 1.3 kilometre stretch of murals are amazing, unique and hold a lot of meaning. The Details Tour: Secret Food Tours Berlin Reviews: 5/5 stars from 314 reviews on Trip Advisor Price: €59 per adult (US$67) Times: Daily at 11 am Final Thoughts If I were to create my own dream food tour, it would have been exactly this. I could not have been more impressed by Secret Food Tours Berlin and I truly can't rave about them enough. I highly enjoyed trying such a variety of dishes from popular local spots and everything was so fresh and full of flavour. The tour was perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of walking between each stop and a good mixture of standing up and sitting down. I loved that each place was unique in its own way and specialised in what we were trying. Our guide Becs was fantastic, she was so friendly and informative, we all learnt a lot about the history of each dish as well as some great facts about Berlin throughout the tour. The generous portions make this tour excellent value for money, you certainly don't need to eat breakfast or dinner on the same day! I couldn't recommend this tour any higher, it was a fantastic foodie experience and a top highlight of my recent time in Berlin. Pin it! :) Definitely check out their other tours offered all over the world too! Happy Travels,

As a total self-confessed foodie, doing street food tours in local areas of places I travel to is one of my favourite things to do. It's especially a great idea for when you've just arrived in a new place, to be shown and get great insight to the local food as well as the lay of the land, as most food tours tend to be walking. Thai food is one of my top favourite cuisines in the world and sadly I haven't been able to have much of it since my last trip four and a half years ago, as compared to what you get in Thailand, it's always just been so disappointing to me! Excited to be back in Bangkok, I immediately did some research and found the highly rated Bangkok Food Tours. They offer a range of different tours, including a Historic Bangrak Food Tour, Offbeat Floating Markets Food Tour, Midnight Food Tour by Tuk Tuk, a Yaowarat Street Food Tour and many more. I decided to go for the latter, as I had never been to the Chinatown area before and I had heard it was a most excellent place for street food. Read on to hear all about the Yaowarat Street Food Tour with each dish we tried, what I thought of them and why you should do this tour too if you're coming to Bangkok! Our group and guide all met outside Bangkok Centre Hotel next to the Hua Lamphong MRT station, where we first introduced ourselves before walking to nearby Yaowarat (Chinatown). Our first dish from the cart pictured above was called Yen Ta Fo, a beloved pink noodle dish with some interesting ingredients in there! We were told this particular cart ranked in the top five for this dish in the whole of Bangkok. It was really delicious and so full of flavour. Thai food prides itself on being sweet, sour, spicy and salty all at the same time and this was no exception. We also had an incredible view, sitting right in front of Wat Trimit which holds the famous Golden Buddha. We continued into the heart of Chinatown, passing a big Paifang (Chinese arch) and went into a restaurant called The Canton House. Here we tried two different dishes, first a big spicy crispy duck salad that we all shared. Every mouthful was so fresh and zingy! The next dish was steamed dim sum which came with a spicy Thai 'killer' sauce (it wasn't that spicy for me!). They were absolutely delicious, I devoured them. We walked further down the bustling street, all lit up and colourful at night towards a cart that was serving my all-time favourite Thai food. Can you guess what it is? Mango sticky rice! I am so addicted to this delicious sweet dessert. We each got our own portion of it and it was so good some of the boys went back for seconds (I wish I could have fit more in but there were still many more dishes to try!). We passed by a durian cart and as most of us had never tried it before, we asked if we could. Durian is known to be the 'King of fruit' in Thailand and it is one of the fruits that you either absolutely love or hate with a passion. I was very interested to try this smelly fruit, that most hotels ban and have a hefty fine for bringing in. And... I did not like it! Which is surprising because I do like most things. I found the texture just so odd, wrongly odd and the taste was not pleasant at all. But I was glad to have tried it finally! Our next stop was at a busy local road-side restaurant sitting on little rickety stools at a popup table. We had a super spicy stir-fry prawn dish with rice and a sauce and Morning Glory, a popular green vegetable dish stir-fried with oyster sauce. The flavour combinations of everything were so delicious, I absolutely loved it. I was starting to get quite full by now though! It was so great sitting outside among the locals, really getting the feel of the lively neighbourhood. Our final stop was at a very popular street cart, famous for this particular best noodles found only in Chinatown, Bangkok. We had a spicy noodle soup with crispy pork belly - which was heavenly! I'm not normally a fan of pork belly, but I enjoyed this so much I ate every last morsel. The flavours of the broth and crispiness of the pork were absolute food goals! There was nowhere to sit, we just ate it standing up along with everyone else, the place was packed with people. Finally, for dessert we squeezed in one more tasting, which actually I think was my favourite of the night! It was called Sala Bao, a steamed bun and it was lava custard! You bit into it and the warm custard oozed out, it was so yum! It was the absolute perfect way to finish an epic night of street food tasting. This tour was one of the highlights of my time in Bangkok, I really enjoyed trying such a variety of dishes from popular local spots. The food was high quality, fresh and delicious, I have no doubt we were taken to try the very best the city has to offer. I honestly loved every single thing we tried except for the durian! Our guide was so lovely and informative, we all learnt a lot about the history of each dish and where it came from. Yaowarat is a famous area in Bangkok for street food and I've heard it's where the locals tend to go when they want to treat themselves. Pin it! :) I highly recommend this tour and any of their others if you are coming to Bangkok yourself, it was a fantastic foodie experience and a cultural one as well. One of the couples on my tour said they had done Bangkok Food Tour's Midnight Food Tour by Tuk Tuk the last time they were in Bangkok and they absolutely loved it, so decided to do another of theirs this time. I can tell you, I will absolutely be doing more of their tours when I am next in Bangkok again too!
