2020 has been nothing short of __________________________________ (insert favorite adjective/phrase here). In the spring we were on the verge of starting our eighth season delivering top-notch food tours in three of our favorite areas of St. Louis. And then it all came to a screeching halt when COVID-19 was declared a pandemic.  For the safety of our guests, the staff and owners of the restaurants we feature, and our tour guides,  we knew that the Savor Saint Louis Food Tours simply could not begin. Not soon after, restaurants had to shut down, some temporarily and some permanently. This entire season we’ve watched and listened to our partners in St. Louis and to other food tour operators across the globe.  Early on we remained optimistic that the tours would start by mid-summer and, as time went by, perhaps by early fall….

’Tis the Season to Travel. Well, okay. Every season is travel season for some. And there are a plethora of travel apps available to “make it easier” for you to travel. But who has the time to try them all out to see which one(s) work? In our continued effort to share great tips and steer you in the right direction, our intrepid Savor Saint Louis Food Tours tour guides and behind the scenes support have provided their tried and true new and old school travel applications for you. Free smartphone travel apps we rely upon Vinnie: Google Maps – while this may seem obvious to most, there’s a trick a lot of people don’t know. You can download a fairly large section of map (easily as big as an entire city) for offline viewing and navigating. This is super…

Venice, Italy. What could be more fun than to go to one of the most famous cities in the world, soak in its culture, and enjoy the fabulous food? For us, that included taking a food tour while there. Venice Bites Food Tour was the perfect tour to take to get a feel for the…

Being a food tour guide has opened my eyes to a whole new world when traveling. When that realization set in — that a whole slew of other types of guided tours besides food tours existed — a light bulb went off. So when I set out to find just what some of those other…

Thanks to Savor Saint Louis Food Tours, Operation Food Search is receiving additional funding to help fight hunger in the region. Savor Saint Louis Food Tours celebrated its newest walking food tour in downtown St. Louis and five years of business by giving back to the community. Savor Saint Louis Food Tours donated 15 percent from each food tour taken during the month of October, which has amounted to nearly $600.   “We are so grateful to Savor Saint Louis Food Tours for their generosity,” Steve Baer, finance associate, Operation Food Search said. “This contribution will help feed more than 20 families for an entire week and provide a cooking demonstration for ten children and their parents. One hungry child is one too many, and we thank Savor Saint Louis Food Tours and the staff for being important advocates and…

One of our tour guides, Natalie, recently took a trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico, and found a food tour to be a great introduction to the island’s culture. Here’s here recap of the experience! Given that neither of us had ever been to Puerto Rico, a food tour was at the top of my list for an introduction to the island in order to make the most of our trip. I signed us up for the Sunset Walk & Taste for our first full day on the island and planned nothing else, knowing that the tour guide would have plenty of recommendations in order to guide the rest of our time in Puerto Rico.
