THE ROLE OF STORYTELLING IN FOOD TOURISM
Kenny Dunn, founder of Eating Europe, emphasizes the rising influence of food tourism on travel decisions. Since the company's launch in Rome in 2011, global interest in culinary experiences has surged by 150%. This trend has driven continuous investment in cities across Europe, bringing unique food-focused adventures to eager travellers.
The Edinburgh food tour costs £99 per person and joins Eating Europe’s extensive network, operating in 18 cities across ten countries, including Rome, Florence, Naples, Milan, Palermo, Venice, Bologna, Paris, London, Madrid, Barcelona, Porto, Lisbon, Amsterdam, Athens, Prague, and Berlin.
Eating Europe was founded by Kenny Dunn after his move from the US to Rome, where he worked with the UN World Food Programme. Inspired by his personal food discoveries, he began taking friends to hidden neighbourhood gems, which evolved into a thriving business offering authentic culinary tours across Europe. Today, Eating Europe continues its mission to connect travellers with local food culture, ensuring every tour is an unforgettable experience.
