We had Sammie as our guide and he was phenomenal. Very personable and knowledgeable. However, be warned - this isn’t your typical food tour. The portions are full size and you will eat A LOT (especially for such a low cost). We were stuffed by the end. Definitely go on an empty stomach. 10/10 recommend!

Our guide Mel was very nice and explained a lot about the history of the area and the food. We enjoyed our time with her. The foods we tried were fine. There were some things she showed us that we may have never found on our own. We enjoyed the tour and this was one of the better food tours we have been on albeit a bit too expensive in my opinion for what value you get.
