Types of Food Tours
Taste tours are a pretty simple concept, consisting of a tour around the best restaurants in the area, with small tasters in each place. In essence, these are great ways to explore the city you’re in, enjoying some local food in the process. Some of the most popular culinary tours out there include:
- Pizza tour
- Vegan food tours
- Wine tour
- The Roman food tour
- Mexican food tour
- Cheese tour
- Culture tours
Most food tours are walking tours from restaurant to restaurant. That said, there are also a variety of other food tour experiences that involve touring a city, whilst eating on a mode of transport. For example, food tour cruises are common, as well as train tours too! Whatever you decide, though, you’ll need the help to set it up...
So… What is a Haunted Food Tour?
A haunted food tour is a fantastic way to draw in visitors with an exciting tour around a specific city or area. Regale your visitors with exciting, spooky tales, providing catering along the way, to feed their - ghost hunting and literal - appetite!
A haunted food tour is normally a walking food tour, so visitors stroll around the area, making pit-stops at local restaurants and buildings on the way. Naturally, these pit-stops are are rumoured to be haunted, and your tour guides will get the chance to relay the haunted tales to the visitors as they eat.
Depending on the tour, the food aspect could be tailored to the seasons. For example, during the Halloween period, autumnal food could be the catering choice. Or, perhaps you could treat visitors with your latest catering treats. Whatever you fancy, the whole experience will be a memorable one.
From what it seems, America is way ahead of the UK in terms of their ghost hunting experiences. Take some inspiration from these two popular American haunted food tours, so you can see what it’s all about...
Philadelphia
Chew Philly food tours offer a fantastic experience for visitors to the city. Specifically, they provide six autumn-themed tasting menus, as their costumed tour guides take visitors from place-to-place, regaling them with ghostly stories of the areas. They even take the tour to some of the haunted buildings in the area, eating autumn food and telling ghost stories as they go.
Denver
This is another of the few food on foot tours out there, consisting of between 2.5 and 3 hours of spooky food and stories. With a minimum of seven tastings at seven of Denver's haunted restaurants, their haunted food tours combine the best aspects of food and haunted tours, joining them together for one magical event!
Who Would Benefit From a Haunted Food Tour?
