We enjoyed the tour, we felt disappointed that our 3rd restaurant cancelled us during the tour! We think this is because they aren't making enough money on these tours...I would rather spend $10 more per person and not have a cancellation. We missed our main meal samplingl...in exchange for biscuits at the Market. Good, but not what we paid for. Dustin was a great historian and we enjoyed him. Would do it again, and recommend the tour. I am sure this was an unusual experience for the tour.
