For those of you thinking about where to travel next, or whether you should consider a 'Food I Am' culinary tour, I would just say "Go ahead and book the Vietnam tour!" It is a country full of wonders, the Vietnamese are so gracious and positive and the food is spectacular! I would recommend this Food I Am tour with great confidence.
Dear Tania and Nerida, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the wonderful tour you organised. Your kindness, care, and attention to every little detail made the experience truly unforgettable. I felt so well looked after, especially with my vegetarian food choices – it really meant a lot to me and made the trip even more enjoyable. The food, accommodation, and guides were absolutely fabulous and truly treasured. It was also such a joy to share the experience with such a generous group of people. The whole trip had such a warm and welcoming feel, and that’s a credit to the beautiful way you both bring people together. Thank you again for making it all so special. I’ll carry the memories with me for a long time to come. Mandaang Guwu.
Fun, friendly, stress free, informative, flexible. A wonderful adventure with great hosts and guides. Accommodation and transport were all excellent.
The Vietnam Food I Am tour was well organised and a lot of fun. They took us to places you are not going to go if traveling without a food guide. We had a great time and will happily look for other tours organised by Tania & Nerida.
Food I Am takes you behind the scene to get unrivalled access to the essence of a country's culture and cuisine. The organisation of the whole experience is exemplary. I could not recommend more highly.
We had never thought to go to India having long entertained pre-conceived notions of what it would be like. Plus, I don't like spicy food. But, we signed up for Food I Am's North India Tour with friends and all we can say is, WOW. It was fabulous from start to finish. Food I Am's pre-tour organisation is second to none, so once you get there everything falls into place. And then, India just grabs you with a cacophony of sights, sounds, tastes and experiences right from the start. I spoke to our Tour Host Damien, who arranged non/mild-spicy food for me at each meal, and the rest of the tour just took off with perfect precision led by Damien and Mohinder. Highlight for me was the Taj Mahal at Sunset, but honestly, too many highlights to mention. Namaste
Our Food I am tour to Northern India was a trip to be treasured and remembered forever. Very professional in every way. Our guides where experienced and organised, accommodation well selected, restaurants and food experiences well planned, the itinerary flowed from one wonderful experience to the next and India enchanted us.
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.
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!
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.
