I had the best time on this walking food tour — who knew there were so many amazing places to eat right in my own backyard? Andrew was energetic and friendly and made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. Every stop had something different and delicious, and I loved learning a bit of history and local stories along the way. It honestly made me see my city in a whole new light. If you love good food, good company, and discovering hidden gems, this tour is a must!
