You might not want to know what this is before eating it… ⁠
⁠
This is mondongo, a traditional Colombian soup made with tripe, vegetables, and a slow-cooked broth ⁠
⁠
In Medellín 🇨🇴, this isn’t considered “strange food”, it’s comfort food. ⁠
⁠
Columbian Mondongo soup is what families eat on Sundays, a warm, rich, deeply flavorful dish… the kind that feels heavier than it looks.⁠
⁠
But most visitors never try it. Not because it’s not good, but because they don’t really understand it or know where to find it. ⁠
⁠
And that’s the difference between eating like a tourist and eating like a local ⁠
Don’t make the same mistake and miss this dish on your next visit to Medellín!⁠
⁠
Join us on one of our newest tours in Columbia!

We just been named the #1 Food & Drink experience in the United States by TripAdvisor. We're quite humbled.

Our Nashville Food Tour. #1. The whole country.

And that was just one of the wins.

TripAdvisor's Travelers' Choice 2026 "Best of the Best" awards came in across six cities and two continents.

Nashville. Charleston. New York. Montreal. Paris. Four award categories. Many are "Top Experiences", not a food & drink only ranking. Our tours are being judged against museums, landmarks, and iconic attractions, and coming out on top.

Paris placed top 10% worldwide. Montreal cracked the top three in Canada. NYC landed two separate city-level wins. Charleston came in at #4 Food & Drink in the entire US.

These awards come from guides who know every back street, every family-run kitchen, every story worth telling. These awards belong to them.
⁠
Of course this also wouldn't be possible without every guest who joined us, shared a review, and made this possible ❤️⁠

Thank you!

This is not fish…

But it is one of Osaka’s most loved sweet street snacks. Meet Taiyaki: a warm Japanese pancake cooked in a fish-shaped mold, crispy outside and soft inside.

Traditionally it’s filled with sweet red bean paste, but today you’ll also find versions with custard, chocolate and matcha.

Here’s the cool part 👇

The fish shape isn’t random. It’s based on tai (sea bream), a symbol of good luck and celebrations in Japan. It became popular because it felt like something “premium”, but was much more affordable than real fish, so everyone could enjoy a little treat that felt special.

On our Osaka Food Tour 🇯🇵, this is exactly the kind of food we take you to try: bites locals truly love, with stories that make every taste even better.

Most people visit Cape Town for Table Mountain and the coastline. The food is just as worth the trip.

Cape Town's kitchen is shaped by centuries of Cape Malay, African, and European influence - and that mix shows up in every dish. The boerewors roll is a staple of the South African braai: thick, juicy, spiced with coriander and clove. Bunny chow is a hollowed-out loaf filled with rich curry, born on the streets and now a city icon. Pap and chakalaka, samosas and daltjie, local Pinotage and Chenin Blanc - there's a whole food culture here that most visitors never reach.

We've just launched our Cape Town Secret Food Tour to change that. Small group, local guide, the real dishes with the stories behind them.

Wait - you can tell what's inside an empanada just by looking at it?

In Buenos Aires, the shape is the menu. Watch the video closely because each fold means something different:

🥟 Braided on the side = beef
🥟 Ends pressed together = ham and cheese
🥟 Braiding on top = pork or chicken

Locals have used this secret code for generations. It's one of those things nobody tells tourists -- which is exactly why we do.

On our Buenos Aires Secret Food Tour, you'll try the classic Porteño empanada: deep-fried, beef-filled, packed with onions, shallots, and red peppers. The kind that's been made the same way in this city for decades.

Save this before your trip to Argentina!

Trdelník is on every corner in Prague. It's very instagrammable. Every vendor calls it a traditional Czech treat.

It's not Czech. It's not traditional. It's just well-marketed. And that's wht we don't include it on our Prague food tours.

Real Prague tastes like koláče, soft pastry filled with poppy seeds, sweet cheese, or fruit. And perník, spiced gingerbread that Czechs have been making for centuries.

We skip the chimney cake queues and take you straight to the good stuff. Visit our site to learn more about our Prague food tour.

Every tour has a secret.

A dish we don't reveal until you're standing right in front of it. A local favourite known to the people who actually live there, not the ones passing through.

That's the Secret Food Tours difference.
