Worst tour ever

MARK_D, Aug 2026
Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience. I’ve taken food tours in Tokyo, Paris, London, Rome, and several other cities, and this was by far the least interesting. Our guide was very nice and personable, and I don’t blame her personally. My criticism is really directed at the tour company. It felt as though she had not been given the training, background, or information needed to make the tour engaging. At each stop, there was very little explanation about the food, the history of the establishment, the people behind it, or why it was significant. A good food tour should be about much more than simply tasting food—it should tell a story about the neighborhood, its culture, and the places you’re visiting. Unfortunately, that was completely missing. Considering the price, I expected a much more informative, engaging, and memorable experience. Our guide was lovely, but the tour itself was boring, lacked substance, and simply did not provide good value. Based on our experience, I would not recommend it.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re very sorry that your experience with Foodprint Tours did not meet your expectations. We completely agree that a food tour should be about much more than simply tasting food. The stories behind the dishes, establishments, neighborhood, and local culture are an essential part of the experience we aim to provide. While we’re pleased to hear that you found your guide personable and welcoming, it is clear that the storytelling and cultural depth were not delivered to the standard we expect. We take responsibility for ensuring our guides receive the proper training and information. Following your feedback, we have paused this tour while we address the issue internally, review the tour content, and strengthen the training provided to our guides before offering the experience again. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Feedback like yours helps us identify where we need to improve and ensure future guests receive the experience and value they should expect from Foodprint Tours.

Tour guide was very good....

Louis_G, Aug 2026
Tour guide was very good. We were a party of four. Another group was a party of 3, food on a plate was shared with the other group and after they were touching the food before we had a chance to taste it we decided not to eat it. The suggestion would be for each person to have their own food or at least each group to have their own food. This has been the case with past food tours.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re glad to hear you enjoyed your guide. We completely understand your concern regarding the shared plates. While some dishes are traditionally served for sharing, separate groups should never be expected to share the same plate. We will address this with our team immediately and ensure that each booking group receives its own separate portions going forward. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and helping us improve the Foodprint Tours experience.

Disappointing

Natalie_W, Jun 2026
Very disappointing and would not recommend and definitely not as described. We were a group of 2 according to photos was expecting a properly prepared cheese board with variety of tastings not 2 big slabs of cheese that was basically wasted. No offer of tea or coffee as described. If I had not asked about the food market we would not have even been told where it was let alone have gone there. We have done a few food tours through Viator and loved them. This one should be removed from being offered. Shared 6 escargot. Terrible value. Many other tours on offer would have been better. Was keen on this one as described to be out of the ordinary and the mention of a market sounded different.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear the experience did not meet your expectations. Regarding the photos, these are promotional images intended to showcase the experience and individual servings may vary depending on the day, venue, and group size. Sharing food is also a core part of the experience, as many of the tastings are served in a way that reflects local dining culture and are meant to be enjoyed together. You are correct that the market should have been mentioned and included as part of the experience. We have already raised this with the guide to ensure the itinerary is followed consistently in the future. We would also like to clarify that tea and coffee are not listed as included items in the tour description and are not part of the standard inclusions. While we understand that our tour style may not suit every traveler, we appreciate you taking the time to share your comments, as it helps us improve the experience for future guests.
