Why AI Can Never Replace me, A Bot cannot do what I do
A bot can recommend a restaurant, but only a human can read a room, pivot a plan, and turn a city into a story you can taste.”
CDMX, CDMX, MEXICO, December 2, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Chef Tours, an international culinary tour company led by professional chefs, released a statement today outlining why human-guided tour design remains essential in an era of growing automation. The announcement highlights recent expansion and the company’s continued reliance on chef expertise rather than AI-generated itineraries.— Karl Wilder
According to The Chef Tours, food travel experiences rely on sensory knowledge, cultural awareness, and in-person relationships with makers and vendors. These elements cannot be replicated by automated systems, particularly in destinations shaped by rapid change. In Berlin, Chef Karl Wilder designs seasonal summer experiences that feature live cooking and interactive tastings built around the chef’s personal relationships with local producers. In Mexico City, the company’s culinary architect adjusts routes weekly based on market shifts, safety updates, and neighbourhood dynamics that require real-time decision-making.
“Our work depends on instincts, relationships, and the ability to read a city block by block,” said Chef PJ, Founder of The Chef Tours. “Technology can assist with logistics, but only a trained human can shape a food tour that reflects the truth of a place in the moment.”
The company notes that its announcement is not a critique of technology but a clarification for travellers seeking authenticity. The Chef Tours emphasises that chef-led curation will continue to define its offerings across all destinations.

Designing a food tour isn’t data entry. It isn’t spreadsheets. It isn’t something you can outsource to a bot while you sip a spritz on a rooftop. It’s improvisation, instinct, and storytelling. It’s the ability to smell a pan of onions and know instantly that *this* is where your guests need to stop. Karl Wilder.
Food Tour Designers don’t follow scripts.
We write them with our feet, our stomachs, and our laughter.
