We cooked up the idea of Secret Food Tours in 2013 after meeting in a pub and bonding over a shared love for international cuisine and authentic flavours.
We started out by setting up tours in London and Paris, excited about how we could showcase the best food and drink in each city – without the well-trodden tourist traps.
The tours were hugely popular and whetted our appetites for growth. We’ve now scaled Secret Food Tours (SFT) to offer a unique way for tourists to explore the culinary culture of over 80 cities around the world.
Growth Partner and Richard Harpin’s support will help to triple the number of cities that SFT operates in.
