    The food experiences were fairly close together with fascinating stories about origins, locations and how foods became so unique. Or guide spoke perfect English and made us feel really included. It was in tiny, off the main walk- little shops or restaurants that we could never have found! We always had options too in case of dislikes, etc. And, we each received a few terrific group photos from our guide who took some great shots. (Sara) ***** I would strongly recommend this tour!
