Food was great, nice variety, a mix of walking and eating, relaxed pace. The young woman who was our guide was very nice but walked ahead and didn’t really keep the group together well. She didn’t seem terribly interested. Would’ve been nice to be given napkins at every stop and a drink. We only got a friend k at one stop , the first one, glad I brought water. There wasn’t a lot of history but what there was was interesting.

YUM!!

This tour was great. The food was super fabulous and a great array of different types of food that reflect the city were offered - not to mention plenty of it! Anyhow, our guide was very knowledgeable and so with our delicious meals, we also got some history too. I highly recommend this tour. Definitely worth it.

The food selection and quality was very good.

The food selection and quality was very good; however, the tour guide got historical facts incorrect and seemed confused at times. It was also very hard to understand because she was talking with gum in her mouth. Despite this I would still do it again - it just could have been a bad day.
