Turin Food Tour D’luxe: A Tribute to Eating With Ziggy’s Culinary Journey

Introduction: When Foodies Meet in Turin

A few months ago we had the absolute pleasure of welcoming a very special guest on our best-selling experience, the Street Food Tour D’luxe: Tastes of Turin: a food experience tour designed to immerse you in the rich flavours and history of Torino. Our guest, the brilliant mind behind Eating With Ziggy, co-founder of a successful NYC food tour company turned global food and travel blogger, shared his Turin adventure in a post titled “Turin- Eating With Abram.”

His reflections deeply resonated with us. We’re thrilled to share our appreciation through this blog, celebrating his words and shedding light on why our Street Food Tour D’luxe makes a great choice when visiting Turin.

Turin: The Under appreciated Food and Monument Wonderland

As Ziggy perfectly captured: “Turin, a city rich in culture and history… and chocolate.” Turin often slips under the radar, overshadowed by Italy’s more famous destinations. Yet, as Ziggy noted, it deserves the spotlight. The city’s charm lies in its quiet elegance, Baroque architecture, and irresistible chocolate shops. Turin becomes unforgettable when experienced through its food: the language of love and culture.

Our Street Food Tour D’luxe offers a curated taste of this wonderland. From handmade gianduja chocolates to iconic local specialities, this tour unveils the flavours that define Turin. If you’d like to dive deep onto it, you can discover more of its magic and why it’s rated as the best activity in Turin HERE

The Rule of Thirds: Why This Tour Stands Out

Ziggy, a true food tour connoisseur, highlights what makes a perfect food tour: “Small group, entertaining guide, great food.”

We couldn’t agree more. The Street Food Tour D’luxe is designed with these exact principles:

  • Small Groups: Intimate experiences enhance deeper connections and personalised exploration.
  • Entertaining Guide: Abram’s background as a Michelin star-trained chef and his warm personality turn each tour into a delightful storytelling session. Btw, he is also the co-founder (with me, Cecilia here, hi!👋) of our husband & wife locally owned and operated business I EAT. Food Tours
  • Exceptional Food: Every stop is carefully selected, offering the best local specialties that showcase Turin’s culinary heritage.

Ziggy’s endorsement – ranking our food tour as the second-best food tour he’s ever taken – is an honour, especially considering his extensive global culinary adventures.

More Than Just Food: A Personal Connection

We believe, and actually we have been told hundreds of times, that what  sets our foodies andventures apart isn’t just the food: it’s the experience itself, the way it’s conceived from start to finish. It lies in details that, we know that very well, matters. And, basically put, it’s in our passion, enthusiasm, energies… vibes.

Ziggy’s words capture this essence: “Abram’s personality… the kind you want to be around for half a day and then wonder where the time flew.”

Abram’s journey includes time at Del Cambio, one of Turin’s most legendary restaurants. His stories bring Turin’s rich culinary past to life, adding layers of depth to every bite. This personal touch creates a tour where guests don’t just taste food, they live Turin’s story.

A Local Experience in a Globalized World

Ziggy emphasizes the rarity of finding locally owned and operated tours in today’s travel landscape. Unlike large operators offering generic experiences across multiple cities, our Street Food Tour D’luxe is rooted in local love and knowledge.

We believe that authentic experiences matter. Every culinary experience has been designed to support local artisans, family-run businesses, and traditional recipes that make Turin unique. With our food tours, you don’t just visit a city; you become part of its community.
