Food Tours

Does all of that seem like a lot of work for a meal? Sometimes I just want to enjoy the food without working for it. If you want to avoid crowded restaurants and still go out to eat, look no further than these food tours!

Take a guided tour through historic sites in your city and stop at the best restaurants and bistros to taste the local cuisine. You don't have to deal with cleaning the kitchen and you get to learn new things about your city. This tip is not only for dining but there are also chocolate tours, wine tasting, ice cream, bakeries you name it!

A Romantic Picnic

Ok, this is the last one involving food!

So speaking of food, how about a romantic picnic? Scout for your favorite location, bring the goodies, and spend time together under the stars or watching the sunset. The possibilities are endless! If you’re looking for a more elaborate option, you may even hire a chef or find someone to provide everything you need, including of course -fluffy pillows and cozy blankets!

Experience the Outdoors

Are you and your partner big fans of the outdoors? Then take advantage of your love for hiking, camping, and exploring nature together and create an unforgettable experience fitted for you two.

You can spend time on cloud 9 by embarking on a hot air balloon ride and feel like one with the sky. If you love the ocean and water sports, then you can spend the day kayaking, paddle boarding, or surfing. Another spectacular marine activity is whale watching.

Create unforgettable memories this Valentine's Day doing something you both love!
