My wife and I took the tour as part of our anniversary weekend. Another couple was scheduled to join but had to cancel, so we had Spud all to ourselves. He was a fantastic guide, charismatic and, in large part owing to his journalism background, super knowledgeable about the area's history and quirks. As I have a similar professional history, it made for an easy rapport. All the food stops were excellent and, because the other couple had to cancel, we ended up with all sorts of extra food. Can't be mad at that.
