A Unique Bonding Experience
But On the Town Food Tours aren’t just about eating diverse and high-quality dishes. During the trip, guests form connections with each other, the town itself, and local business owners. Each tour is a curated, shared experience that brings joy and discovery to everyone involved.
In addition to the stops at various restaurants, guests enjoy time to explore shops, soak in scenery, and savor samples. The food, which features portion sizes between an appetizer and an entrée, is spaced out between walking and storytelling segments; this creates a natural flow that keeps the tour fun and manageable.
Guests often meet the local business owners behind the food and can ask them questions. These face-to-face interactions add depth to the experience. “Meeting the owners makes people feel like insiders, giving them a behind-the-scenes look,” says Audrey Wiggins, Owner and Tour Guide Operator for On the Town Food Tours. “It creates lasting memories beyond just tasting food.”
Every Town Has A Story
Between munching and chatting, fun-facts are often uncovered along the tour. Audrey loves how people are always amazed by the hidden histories that lie within each community. For instance, many are surprised to learn about former King of Spain Joseph Bonaparte’s connection to Bordentown. In other stops, guests discover long-standing family-run businesses and local legends they’ve never heard before.
Audrey personally leads every tour. She feels that leading the tours herself ensures each experience is consistent, personal, and full passion. “Guests get to hear the stories directly from me, and I love being fully present to guide the entire journey.”
Even before starting On the Town Food Tours, Audrey spent years exploring South Jersey towns. She loves visiting restaurants, studying local history, and truly immersing herself. “It’s taken time, but each connection is built on mutual support and a shared love for showcasing what makes these towns so special,” she says about the businesses that are part of her tours.
