FAQ’S

Our food tasting and cultural walking tours have been developed especially for food and history lovers. We find that some children have a blast on our tours and if you think yours will, please bring them along – most of our tours are great for young history and food lovers, too, as well as future chefs.

But, in our vast touring experience, we have found that many of those under the age of 17 might have a harder time enjoying themselves on a tour. They may be indifferent, fidgety, or not appreciate an extended group activity and unfortunately, their displeasure could interfere with the exciting experience that I Eat Food Tours has carefully crafted for you and the other guests.

Whether to bring your child is entirely up to you, but please note that ALL CHILDREN ages 3 and above need a paid ticket. We assume that if your child is below the age of 3 they will not be participating in the tasting portion of the tour, or they might be sharing tastings with a parent. Therefore, for children below age 3, no ticket is required and there will no be separate tastings prepared for them. If you would like tastings for your child under 3, please be sure to purchase a ticket in advance.

Whatever you decide, be sure to indicate when you make your reservation whether you are bringing a child on the tour, so that your tour guide can be prepared. Please also note that strollers can be a challenge on the tour due to the many narrow sidewalks that we walk on, the oneven cobble stone streets that we cross, certain staircases that we use when entering establishments, and the very small shops and open market streets that we visit. If you have further questions pertaining to tickets for children, please mailto: info@ieatfoodtours.it

For child pricing – see FAQ labeled: ARE THERE CHILD TICKETS?

Not more than you can handle! The pace is usually good for everyone. We cover enough of a neighborhood to satisfy everyones curiosity.

We are on our feet for approximately 2.5/3/4 hours.

Please note that there are some stairs that we navigate during the tour. If stairs are a problem for you or any of your guests, please indicate that when you purchase your tickets so we can do our best to accommodate your needs.

Turin is an very old city and the locations where we hold our tours are some of the oldest in town. This means that many of the narrow streets and uneven cobblestone streets we walk, along with the small shops, markets and staircases in and out some of establishments are not conducive to strollers and wheelchairs. This does not mean that we don’t welcome both, it just means that some tours are going to be better for you than others.

*For strollers, we do recommend something small that folds up easily (an umbrella stroller usually works best). Many of our locations are very small or can be busy and trying to keep children in strollers in the stores can be a struggle, so having something the child can be taken in and out of easily is going to make it a much more pleasant experience for both child and parent.

*For wheelchairs, we have found that our Street Food Tour D’luxe is the easiest tour to manage, as there are no stairs that a guest would have to maneuver. If the guests level of mobility includes being able to walk up and down a view stairs, with or without assistance, then the Aperitif Wine & Dine and the Chocolate Tour & Workshop are going to be fine as well.

We want to do our best to accommodate whatever mobility needs you might have, so if you are interested in one of our other tours or events (not listed above), please feel free to mailto info@ieatfoodtours.it directly, so we may find the tour or event that works best for you!

Even thought our walking tours are 3 hours and more, there are many spots during each tour to rest. We understand that it might be difficult to be on your feet for a long time. We make sure that everyone is confortable during our tours.

Yes! Absolutely Yes! Many of our attendees live right here in Turin and surroundings. Locals often attend to learn things about the neighborhood and the city in which they live that they did not know beforehand. We mainly stay off the beaten path, and thus avoid being consumed by crowds of tourists. Locals (and those that want to feel like locals) can often get the MOST out of the tours since the tour is designed to show you how the locals live, where they shop and eat.

We change our tours slightly every eight to twelve months. Many parts of the tour remain the same, but we do our best to improve upon and enhance the tour. Don’t be embarrased to come back for more and repeat the experience – many people do! (don’t hesitate to ask us to custom your tour and make it a private one)

We often have single travelers on our Food Tours, whetever they be single travelers or locals looking for something fun, tasty & different to do in Turin. We have found that most people who take our tours are adventurous & sociable, excited about trying amazing food, & open to meeting new people (or even making new friends)! We like to think of each tour group as its own family, exploring Turin and breaking bread together. If you are open to meeting new people & having a great time, you will have a wonderful time on the food tour.

Not all of the locations are wheelchair accessible. There can be at the locations high steps to make or different floorlevels to take, we are very sorry for that.

Please contact us in advance we can surely see what we can arrange.
