Food I Am tours are well researched and organised. We have been to North Spain, Morocco and Bhutan. All were beyond our expectations.
Travelling to Bhutan with Food I Am was an amazing adventure from the moment we were picked up at the airport to our last day. Even driving around in the bus was an excellent, enjoying the magnificent scenery. Of course, the Tigers Nest hike was an amazing bucket list experience. We were so well looked after every step of the way. I loved every day of my Bhutan adventure. Thank you Tania and the Food I Am team.
Having been involved in the travel industry for 10 years, I would say that this tour is one of the best I have experienced. The pre tour information was really excellent and so encouraging for people who had perhaps not traveled to such a country before. Great work Food I Am, Tania and all her crew.
Tania and Food I Am were exceptional to deal with for our Indian adventure! Everything was meticulously organised, incredible accommodation, meals and cultural experiences. The chaos and mystic of India were mind-blowing and I couldn't recommend Food I Am more highly to visit this incredible country.
Having just returned from a 12 day odyssey through northern India with Food I Am I can't rate them highly enough. The level of communication from the initial briefing, right through to daily updates from our guide Damien kept us well informed. The itinerary could not be faulted, the hotels all magnificent and the meals exceptional, from a Michelin starred restaurant to an amazing gastronomic Farm to Fork experience. Loved the sights, sounds, smells and delicious food that India had to offer. Would definitely consider booking again as also it was very reasonably priced. Thank you Tania and team at Food I Am.
Our 9 day Sicily tour was beyond our expectations. We traversed Sicily experiencing incredible locations, rustic food and fine dining. We were immersed into the Sicilian culture and lifestyle under the excellent guidance our wonderful tour guide Melina. Our 9 day sojourn was filled with incredible experiences which are now lifelong memories.
Our host, Melina was knowledgeable, friendly, energetic with a great sense of humour. She made each of us feel special. The food experiences were to die for! We tasted food that we would probably never have tried on our own and experienced authentic Sicilian hospitality. We enjoyed experiences that were off the beaten tourist track, stayed in sensational accommodation and made new friends. The tour was worth every cent!!
What a fantastic experience! Everything is organised and done amazingly. There wasn’t a day where we didn’t have fun, enough food and laughs. This tour has been etched in our memory and hand on heart was worth every dollar. Our guide, Melina was just the best with her knowledge, interaction and friendliness.
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.
Well planned, well orchestrated, great people. I highly recommend Food I Am tours.
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.
