The Food Tour was fabulous! Andy is extremely knowledgeable. We had some marvelous food, beverage, pastry, and confectionary tastings. We had Italian, French, Japanese, Southern, Ukrainian, Canadian food tastings. He gave us fascinating stories and history about all of the places that we visited. I think this is my favorite tour!
