The rise of Private Food Tours.
In recent years, private food tours have seen a significant surge in popularity. Travelers are increasingly seeking personalized and exclusive experiences that allow them to explore destinations at their own pace and according to their interests. This trend is evident in various markets around the world and Manchester is no different. We’ve seen a growing demand for bespoke, private food tours offering safety, flexibility, and exclusivity.
Why book a private food tour?
At Manchester Bites, we recognize the value of tailored experiences. Our private food tours are designed to offer you an intimate and customized culinary journey through Manchester’s vibrant food scene. Here are some compelling benefits of booking a private tour with us:
1. Personalized Itinerary
With a private tour, the experience is tailored to your preferences. You might want to avoid certain foods or add a couple of historic pubs into the tour. When it’s private you have a lot more flexibility to do this. We contact all of our private tour guests when they book on and find out more about their wants and likes. It’s a lot of fun for us as sometimes there’s interesting challenges to meet.
Also, it means we get to know our guests a lot better.
2. Exclusive Access
Private tours often provide access to hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path eateries that are not typically included in standard tours. Our knowledgeable guides have insider connections, allowing you to experience Manchester’s food and drink scene like a local.
We hosted a private tour for a couple recently who wanted to try only 100% vegan restaurants and vendors. Now since the pandemic a lot of Manchester’s purely vegan places have closed but we were able to assit them and created a unique experience just for them.
They were able to meet and chat to some of the chefs and got to hear first hand about the dishes they were enjoying and how they were created.
3. Flexibility and Freedom
Private tours offer the flexibility to set your own pace. Want to linger a bit longer at a particular spot or skip another? The choice is yours. This freedom ensures a relaxed and enjoyable experience without the constraints of a fixed schedule. You’re not having to keep up with the rest of the group.
We always have a good chat with our guests and find out about their wants and needs on the private tours. A lot of the time this culminates in us going to completely different places than our normal tours. It’s great that we know Manchester like the back of our hands and can change things on a whim for our private guests.
4. Enhanced Safety and Comfort
In today’s travel landscape, many are prioritizing safety and comfort. Private tours limit exposure to larger groups, allowing you to enjoy the experience within your own trusted circle.
A lot of travellers decided to opt for private right after the pandemic and they haven’t gone back.
We also get quite a lot of family groups who just want to spend the time with each other bonding and not worrying about having to join strangers.
5. Deeper Engagement
With a private tour, you have more opportunities to interact with your guide, ask questions, and gain deeper insights into the story of Manchester. This personalized attention enriches your overall experience.
On every tour that we do we want to make sure every guest has had a personalised experience. That’s why we concentrate on smaller groups. When you book a private tour that is magnified. It’s you and your very own local guide.
