All of the eateries we're great. I don't want to spoil the surprise of the restaurants chosen, but there was a good variety. The group was maxed out at 15 people, the portions were ideal (not too big or small), we had enough time at eat location to enjoy the food, learn the history of the eater...
All of the eateries we're great. I don't want to spoil the surprise of the restaurants chosen, but there was a good variety. The group was maxed out at 15 people, the portions were ideal (not too big or small), we had enough time at eat location to enjoy the food, learn the history of the eatery, and use the restroom. The walking distance was not excessive and was a great way to see some cool spots in the city. Our tour guide was Zoe - she was great - very knowledgeable and entertaining. Excellent tour - check it out!Aleksandra_P

We have done numerous food tours in various cities. Nate was the best guide we've had yet. The food was fantastic, but the overall experience was even better. I highly recommend making the time for this one!
