And to your right, some more delicious food...

I'm not a huge tour person generally -- I get antsy and like to explore new cities on my own (or maybe just go shopping). But a food tour is something I definitely think that I could handle. I've been hearing about them a lot lately, as many cities now offer them. More recently, I've come across City Food Tours, which offers both walking and coach tours in Philadelphia and New York City. This company has gotten a bit of press, and they even offer personalized group packages. Philadelphia also offers tours of Reading Terminal Market, one of my favorite spots in the city, and Chinatown tours with some foodie destinations.

I've never taken a food tour, but I'd love to hear accounts from those of you have had -- especially tours that you found especially great or awful.

(Thanks, Marisa for the great picture!)

We've gone on a pretty good tour of Boston's East End run by Michele Topor: http://www.zerve.com/MicheleTopor/NEMT3/rating/26

And a *hilariously* awful tour of SF Chinatown: http://marriedwithdinner.com/2005/11/01/hao-ling-lee-awful/
