The tour was a perfect mix of food and history. Every stop was well planed out and intentional. Sean D was an amazing guide and took extra time to give us an amazing day. You could tell he cares about his city and history. The food was amazing all around. I always say “service” is 90% of the “meal” and Sean was aces.
It's an amazing time....
