1. Rome
Unsurprisingly, food mecca Rome holds the No. 1 spot for jet-setting foodies. Whether you’re hoping to sample the

gelateria at a time, there’s plenty of nibbles to keep you coming back time and time again. TripAdvisor’s most-booked food tour in the city is the

3. Paris
From croissants and espresso at a

Once you step foot in New Orleans, you see what all of the fuss is about. It’s a food city, if there ever was one. From chicory coffee and sugar-dusted beignets at

between meals just so you can taste everything. TripAdvisor’s most-booked food tour in the city is the
