Why a Food Tour Is the Perfect Family Vacation Activity This Summer

Nadine Braehmer • May 11, 2025

Planning your family vacation in the summer? Discover why a food tour is the ultimate family-friendly experience to make your trip unforgettable.


Summer is the season for sunshine, school breaks, and unforgettable family adventures. Whether you're jetting off to Europe, exploring the heart of Latin America, or diving into the vibrant chaos of Southeast Asia, one thing is certain: food brings people together. At Foodprint.tours, we believe the best way to discover a culture is through its flavors — and our food tours are designed to make your family vacation in the summer not just fun, but meaningful.

Why Choose a Food Tour for Your Family Vacation?


1. Fun for All Ages
From toddlers to teens to grandparents, everyone enjoys tasting delicious,
local food. Our tours offer a relaxed, casual way to explore new neighborhoods, with plenty of breaks, photo ops, and tasty bites to keep the whole family engaged.


2. Educational and Cultural
Food isn’t just about eating — it’s about stories, history, and traditions. Our expert local guides share fun facts and cultural insights that kids and adults alike love. It's like a history lesson you can eat!


3. A Break From Typical Sightseeing
Instead of dragging your kids through museums or long walking tours, why not give them an experience they’ll talk about for years? Trying fresh churros in Mexico City or sizzling street food in Bangkok is something they'll never forget.


4. Safe, Organized, and Hassle-Free
When you join a tour with
Foodprint, you're taken care of. We know the best places to eat, how to avoid tourist traps, and how to keep things running smoothly. You just show up — hungry and curious.


5. Create Family Memories Through Flavor
Eating a warm empanada under the stars in Buenos Aires or sipping mint tea in the backstreets of Cairo — these are the moments that become family legends. Let your kids grow up remembering not just the places they saw, but the dishes they loved.


Where Will This Summer Take You?

We run tours in some of the world’s most exciting destinations:

  • Istanbul: Explore the colorful streets of Kadıköy while tasting Turkish delights.
  • Barcelona: Sample the best tapas and discover the true Catalan flavors.
  • Bangkok: Try a mix of Michelin-awarded eats and vibrant Chinatown street snacks.
