Supporting Local to Reduce Environmental Impact
At Original Food Tours, we prioritize small producers, artisans, and local restaurants. Why? Because choosing local not only enhances the experience but also:
- Reduces carbon emissions linked to food transportation.
- Supports the local economy, helping small businesses thrive.
- Offers a more authentic experience, showcasing traditional recipes and regional specialties.
We carefully select our partners—passionate bakers, dedicated cheesemakers, and chefs who use seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. It’s all about celebrating great food with a conscience!
Less Waste, More Conscious Choices!
Did you know that tourists generate more waste than they do at home? We’re committed to ensuring that our tours leave only delicious memories, not trash.
What we do to help:
No single-use plastics – We encourage guests to bring reusable water bottles, and we partner with businesses that minimize packaging waste.
Fighting food waste – We collaborate with eco-conscious restaurants and ensure portion sizes are optimized to avoid unnecessary leftovers.
Walking tours only – Most of our food tours are designed to be on foot, reducing carbon emissions while allowing guests to soak in the city’s atmosphere.
3. Raising Awareness, One Bite at a Time
Sustainable tourism isn’t just about making small changes—it’s about inspiring a mindset shift. At Original Food Tours, we believe education is key.
How do we do it?
By sharing insightful stories and fun facts about sustainability and local cuisine throughout our tours.
By encouraging visitors to adopt greener habits beyond the tour, such as choosing seasonal foods, reducing food waste, and supporting ethical businesses.
By collaborating with local organizations that promote responsible and sustainable food practices.
Tourism That Tastes Good… and Does Good!
Sustainable travel isn’t about sacrifice—it’s about experiencing food and culture in a way that respects the environment. With Original Food Tours, you’ll explore a city through its flavors while making a positive impact.
