Who we are

What Are Restaurant Tours?

Locals and travellers use The Restaurant Touring Company to book guided and self-guided walking or transported food tours, where they dine at multiple restaurants in one day and try the best of each place.

For restaurants, think of Restaurant Tours as a way to get new walk-in guests, typically 16-120 in during times when you’re less busy.

Traditional food tours, typically guided events with large groups, have operated across major cities worldwide for two decades now. The Restaurant Touring Company plans to transform the food tours concept. Alongside its regular guided food tours we are now offering a unique self-guiding experience for guests, as well as creating a simple experience for restaurant owners and staff with no changes in regular operations.
