Gluten Free Food Tours with Katrina McGhee
Finding Gluten Free Friendly Food Tours While Traveling
Are you scared to take a gluten free food tour? Even with my experience, I avoid food tours because I don’t trust that someone else will ask the right questions for me. Today, I chat with Katrina McGhee, who is gluten intolerant - not Celiac - about how she approaches and asks about food tours. Caution: If you’re Celiac you will want to use your own judgment with food tour safety. Look for a food tour with dedicated gluten free restaurants or a completely gluten free food tour.
Questions to Ask Food Tour Operators
If you find a food tour, look to see if they mention food allergies or accommodating food allergies. If they don’t, you can reach out to the tour operator and ask them directly the following questions:
Have you had someone with a food allergy on your tour?
What gluten free offerings do these places have?
Are all these locations familiar with gluten allergies?
What is the protocol at these places?
Do you offer exclusive gluten free food tours?
Be Cautious When Booking a Food Tour
Even when you ask all the right questions, you can still end up getting food you can’t eat. Although my guest did a variety of food tours, I personally wouldn’t book a food tour. Why? Because they are too risky to chance getting sick because I have to depend on the knowledge and experience of someone else to vet food establishments and I’m not personally willing to take that risk.
Katrina is gluten intolerant, not Celiac, and if you're intolerant you have more food options. You don’t have to worry about cross contamination and you don’t get as sick. My advice is if you’re intolerant, you could safely eat on a food tour. If you’re Celiac, I wouldn’t book a food tour unless it was a tour in Italy or another gluten-free friendly place, and the tour locations were exclusively gluten free. For me, it would be too stressful and not fun if I had to watch everyone else enjoying their food after I paid for a food tour ticket on my vacation.
