You experience the smells, sounds, and small details that make this street feel alive and genuinely local, not staged for tourists.

5.00Fantastic food tour! Dave and Corrine were so kind and knowledgeable about the food and the areas in which they took us. There was a focus on local vendors and their community which we appreciated. Good mix of adventurous food (for us American's) and more recognizable bites. They were easy to find and easy to communicate with. Our only regret is we didn't do this tour earlier on in our trip! We could have been eating so much more peanut ice cream.
