What People are Saying!
Please extend my thanks to the team there for enabling us to host such a successful meeting last week.
The food, venue, and technology were just the ticket. I have since had one of the surgeons comment that we should have more events out there!
Thanks again.
Morocco and the Food I am Tour is one of the most amazing and incredible experiences I have had. Tania goes out of her way to ensure every single traveller has the most amazing experience. Our tour group was so much fun and every day was packed with so many wow moments. Every traveller feels welcome, comfortable and has the very best experience as Tania's beautiful welcoming personality shines the whole way through the tour. The accommodation was absolutely sensational. The food, the country and the Moroccan people were all inspiring and I would recommend this tour to everyone. I knew it would be amazing but it truly exceeded all my expectations. I cannot wait to hear how much the next tour group love this country and the incredible Food I Am Tour.
I can't say enough about our tour to Northern Spain with Tania from Food I Am. What an experience! From start to finish the tour was well planned and really gave us the most authentic experience of Northern Spain offering us boutique wine tours, the art of cheese making and the famous Basque cheesecake. I had an incredible experience and can't wait to book with Food I Am again. I can't recommend a tour with Food I Am highly enough, you won't be disappointed!
This was our first Food I Am tour on the back of our friend's recommendation. It certainly didn’t disappoint & we all really enjoy both the food experiences & the other activities that were planned. Melina our host had a wealth of knowledge and made the tour run so smoothly & everyday had another great highlights package. Looking forward to booking in another tour next year.
The trip was very last minute for me but I'm so happy I went. We went to so many places that you would never go if you went on your own, I can't recommend it enough.
If you are wanting to do a food tour, Food I Am is professional, exceptional and goes above and beyond. Loved our tour of Tuscany, Italy. Would highly recommend.
The Food I Am tour of Northern Spain was simply wonderful. With exceptional attention to detail, and so well organised with amazing, food, wine and accommodation provided every day. It was a fantastic experience of authentic Spanish culture in the picturesque region of Northern Spain. Tania and her team do an amazing job with the perfect mix of food, sightseeing and guides to learn all there is to know about the Rioja and Basque Regions. I had a truly wonderful time and thank you so much for creating an amazing experience. I hope to be back again for another tour one day and I would highly recommend their tours to anyone.
An eight day, fully integrated tour of Northern Spain and Basque country with a small group, excellent tour leader and guides, was a great way to travel.
Great tour which provided us all with a wonderful "taste" of Northern Spain. We appreciated the work and thought put in to ensuring that all our needs were met with regards to accommodation, comfort, travel and experiences.
If you're thinking of registering for the Northern Spain 'Food I Am' tour, just do it! - The tour was a joy from start to finish - Food, wine, amazing accommodation, the delights of the Basque countryside & culture & the opportunity to spend time with such a lovely group of people! - Tania & the 'Food I Am' team really are exceptional at what they do!
The Food I Am tour of Northern Spain was absolutely amazing. It was great value for money with so many inclusions and truly unique experiences that we would not have had otherwise. Food I Am go the extra mile to make the experience one that is stress free and unforgettable. Would recommend their tours to anyone.
The most amazing tour travelling through Northern Spain. Absolutely enjoyed every moment of the Food I Am tour. From visiting the Artisanal producers of Anchovies & Cheese, to tasting the most delicious vinos in the Rioja Region, Tania & her team have provided an unforgettable experience. The thoughtfully chosen boutique hotels were perfect in every way. Always in the most incredible locations, right near The Gugeneheim Museum in Bilboa or tucked away in interesting little villages. I will savour the Sans Sebastian food scene for a long time, one of the highlights of this trip, a seafood lunch by boat with amazing views of the area. Thank you for creating this amazing itinerary, can't wait for another Food I Am Tour soon. Don't forget to order a 'Double Serve of the Basque Cheesecake.'
Our fourth Food I Am tour and they never disappoint. Just the right balance of culture, touring, relaxation, food and wine and free time. Great attention to detail and always a wonderful experience.
We first took a tour with Food I Am in 2018 and it was a fantastic experience. This tour surpassed all expectations that we had. Getting the balance correct with your own time to explore, guided tours, understanding local culture and the influence of history on the very interesting villages and towns is not as simple as it sounds. Then add the fabulous food experiences and understanding of local ingredients took the tour to another level. The Basque cheesecake is best summed up as OMG. Tania dealt with any issues before we noticed and was very caring to everyone on the tour. Food I Am work hard to make your experience truly unforgettable. Would we recommend their tours; just signed up for our 3rd!
Thank you Food I Am team!
Our kids had an amazing time at the Master Chef Junior class these winter holidays and can’t wait to show off what they learned by re-creating the amazing menu at home.
We will be back!
Thanks so much Food I Am ❤️
My granddaughters attended the junior MasterChef class today and had the BEST time 😊
They can’t wait for next school holidays so they can go to the next one.
Would highly recommend the Food I Am visit to Northern Spain. Wonderful destination. Excellent organisation. Special opportunity to get behind otherwise closed doors to meet some of the dedicated producers of some of the best food (and wine) in the world and then get to enjoy it with a discerning group.
I recommend to anyone that you can book this tour with confidence, you will have an amazing time and learn so much about the beautiful people of Morocco and the amazing country.
I cannot begin to describe how wonderful our trip to Morocco was. We had a fabulous group of funny, interesting and clever people. Tania is just an amazing person who organised the most amazing and interesting tour - with not one hiccough, and nothing was a problem for her. Food and accommodation all first class. I could not recommend Food I Am more highly and can't wait to do another tour.
“Thank you for the amazing Welcome Reception you provided us on Thursday evening. The food and drinks were exceptional, as was your staff. Just so professional and accommodating and our guests were most impressed.
I’m sure I speak on behalf of all our team in saying that working with you in the lead-up to the event and on the day was just so easy. In a jam-packed 3 days of Conference events this is what makes the difference and ensures a successful event.
I am already recommending you to people!”
Tania and her extraordinary team created a wonderful itinerary for the Morocco Tour. Her attention to detail was exceptional, her thoughtfulness and sense of fun ensured the tour went off without a hitch. We had an incredible and diverse range of experiences, from riding camels in the desert, eating stall food in the Medinas, a cooking class, farm visits, a traditional Berber lunch, beautiful palaces and kazbars, stunning gardens and treasure hunting in the souks, to name a few. We shared some excellent classic and contemporary Moroccan meals in hotels and restaurants. The accommodation was wonderful, in carefully chosen boutique hotels, which were luxurious and delightful. We thoroughly explored Morocco in our 13 day visit. We made some great memories and loved every second of our trip.
Food I Am is especially perfect for small group travel to more challenging destinations. The Luxe of travel made easy really. All you need to do is show up prepared to embrace what has been carefully planned for you.
“Food I Am delivered the perfect event for our welcome reception at our Destination and Visitor Economy Conference in May this year. The weather was great, sensational views, wonderful food and beverage which made for a stunning evening. The 200 delegates in attendance rated the function very highly.
Nerida and the team provided amazing service and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Food I Am to anyone looking for a unique venue in Wagga.”
Tania goes above and beyond with her tours. We just loved the local life and the riads we stayed in, it exposed us to a culture and country that we felt so comfortable with. Colours, spices, smells, food, people… just fabulous. We have already booked another trip with Food I Am
Our team building event at Food I Am was incredibly enjoyable. The chef and staff were fantastic in delivering activities that encouraged teamwork in groups, with fun challenges and a delicious lunch to cap off the day. The location is truly unique! We highly recommend Food I Am for any team building event.
My group had a fabulous time from the moment we set foot in Food I am. We were welcomed with a coffee and built rapport with the staff and other participants prior to the class. We learnt so much from Jamie (our Chef) including knife skills, cutting techniques as well as cooking methods of various ingredients (which could be used in preparing any dish at home). The food we made together required different techniques which we learnt and collaboratively prepared. I would not have attempted this kind of food prior to the class but I am now eager to attempt these myself at home.
Following the preparation and cooking of our meals, we sat down and shared our platters that we had prepared, with a glass of wine, overlooking the amazing scenery of Wagga Wagga.
I would highly recommend a cooking class at Food I am to everyone in search of a different type of activity, filled with lots of fun, friendship and some education as well as a delicious dining experience. We will definitely be returning for another class.
"What a fantastic time we had on Saturday! From start to finish, everything was seamlessly executed, and it truly made for an unforgettable experience.
From the moment we turned up in the bus and one of your lovely staff members was there to welcome us (and help mum off!). The attention to detail, the vibrant atmosphere, the very beautiful food. And of course, the spectacular setting, with the sun shining on us, truly made for a special and stunning day.
Please pass on our compliment to your chef, everyone has commented on how lovely the food was. The flavours and presentation were simply outstanding. And no one went hungry!
And importantly, please pass on our thanks to Sarah and her team for the exceptional service provided. Each member of staff made every guest feel welcomed, their smiles and willingness to accommodate any request did not go unnoticed!
Thanks again for creating such a wonderful opportunity for all of us to come together."
Attended the International Street Food class at Food I Am with some friends and it was fantastic! Loved getting hands-on with delicious recipes from around the globe. Shep, our chef, was not only informative but also made the class incredibly fun. The atmosphere was lively, and the company was great. Definitely recommend for a fun and tasty culinary experience!
Just wanted to let you know how much my son and I enjoyed our seafood cooking class. The demonstration and information we gained was fantastic!! Choice of recipes was excellent and the relaxed setting when enjoying the delicious food and wine was fabulous!! We will definitely be back to enjoy another class!
Your staff were amazing - so helpful and attentive.
