About us

Led by Little James.
Fueled by food.


Original Food Tours began with one curious traveler: Little James — a passionate foodie on a mission to uncover the true flavors of Europe, one bite at a time.
From hidden neighborhood markets to iconic artisan shops, he explored beyond the guidebooks, built friendships with chefs and producers, and tasted (almost) everything. What started as a personal quest became a collective adventure — gathering a team of like-minded food lovers across Paris, London, and beyond.

Today, we design experiences that go far beyond clichés and straight into the soul of local life.


From back-alley bakeries to legendary fromageries, our tours are crafted for curious eaters who want more than just a meal — they want a memory.

More Than Tours. A Food Philosophy.



We create unforgettable Food & Beverage Experiences — and that’s not just what we do, it’s who we are.

Each itinerary is thoughtfully designed to highlight:

  • Authentic local specialties
  • Hidden culinary gems
  • The passionate people behind the food — farmers, artisans, chefs, and producers

With over 15 years of experience exploring Europe’s diverse culinary cultures, we craft tours that blend flavor, storytelling, and genuine connection.

No scripts.
No tourist traps.
Just real food, real stories, and real locals.

Why eat with us?

Because food tours aren’t just what we do, it’s who we are.

For over 15 years, our founders James and Steph have crossed the globe in search of authentic, local food stories. From Italian vineyards to Spanish street stalls, they’ve learned directly from farmers, chefs, market vendors, and artisans.

We bring that passion into every tour:
Carefully curated routes
True local delicacies
No tourist traps
Handpicked partners who love what they do

If you want to eat like a local, laugh like a friend, and discover a city through what really matters : you're in the right place!
