5.00Wonderful tour. Very well thought out and colorful. Our guide, Will, had personal connections with every one of the purveyors and the one that he didn’t, he made a point to introduce himself and find out more about. Great recommendations, and a wonderful experience. Book this one over the giant companies! Small company, chef owned, and local!! Can’t be beat.
