Corporate team-building events are a great way to get to know your co-workers outside the confines of your office, but if you're tasked with planning the event and feeling bored with the idea of another happy hour, a food tour might be just what you're looking for. Your team will be guided through your city's finest shops, landmarks, and restaurants to enjoy a sampling of delicious meals, stories, and history along the way. Here’s a closer look at why you should consider one for your next team activity.

Why Food Tours Make Perfect Corporate Events

1. Relationship Building

Unlike impersonal cocktail mixers where your coworkers might struggle to seek out conversation, food tours can help everyone engage in conversation naturally. Enjoying a meal together can stimulate conversations about their own favorite foods, while learning about local history may spark communication about their interests and passions, helping your colleagues develop stronger relationships and improved camaraderie.

2. Delicious Food

Nothing builds relationships faster than sharing a meal. On a food tour, you and your colleagues will be treated to a sampling of local cuisine from some of the area's finest restaurants, allowing you to enjoy a variety of meals you might not have had the opportunity to try. From delicious appetizers at the hottest tapas bar to a tasty entree at your city's new steak house, these tours allow your group to share new dining experiences, creating memories along the way.

3. Built-in Entertainment

Free of uncomfortable team-building games and exercises, food tours are often led by knowledgable tour guides who provide arranged entertainment, taking the pressure of maintaining the conversation off of your colleagues and allowing them to relax and have fun. With exciting stories and facts about the area's attractions and local cuisine, your tour guide may even have a few interactive games or activities planned to keep everyone laughing and engaged.
