“This was the best food tour I have ever been on. When we travel, we always pick up a food tour to get idea of the food culture of the area. Typically on our food tours we would get small samples and you are left wanting more. Not with this tour, in fact I had to cancel my dinner reservation for that evening because we stuffed. The guide was amazing with his knowledge of the local cuisine and history. An added side bonus, we learned how to use the local public transportation. I would highly recommend this tour.”
