Berlin food-tour app

You can purchase self-guided food tours of Berlin with the app bitemojo, free on iTunes and Android. Once you activate a tour, selected eateries are notified that you will arrive in due time to receive “bites,” specially designed small entrées, served with chef’s commentary (sometimes in English).

Tours, costing €11-€34 (near $12-$38) and purchased with a credit card or Paypal account through the app, last a minimum of 2½ to 3½ hours and can be browsed by food type (including some for vegetarians), duration, mode of travel and location within Berlin. Each includes a map; street addresses of eateries; biographies of chefs and vendors; text and audio or video (in English and German) on some dishes, and coupons for places visited.

Smartphones must be connected to a network to access the tours, and roaming charges may apply. Updates will announce food tours of other cities.
