Kyle was a great tour guide. We enjoyed each of the restaurants and the food. The collard greens and Brussels sprouts were favorite.

We never got to go on the tour. On tuesday , 3/18 I went on line to book this tour for tuesday 3/25. They made us download the Vistor app to get our tickets. This was a complete cluster as our tickets never showed up and then we got a call on Tuesday afternoon 3/18 telling us that we missed our tour.We asked for our money back for the tour from both Viator and the tour company and they both just gave us the run around. We pretty much feel that we got scammed. Be careful of these guys when you book with them.
