Our guide, Christian, was great! Our small group of separate parties started out in separate little groups, but he brought everyone together and by the end we were all mixing it up. Walking through Alexandria in between tastings and learning a little history was a perfect match. We tasted Italian, Lebanese, and Mexican - a great sampling of the local culture. The portions were ideal so we didn't fill up on any one tasting. The cupcake dessert was a perfect touch to end the tour. Personally, I did not care for the Lebanese food, but, I can say I tried it! Overall - we definitely recommend this tour!

Incredible experience. Not only was the food delicious, but Wayne was very knowledgeable about the area, providing historical (and even some ghostly) insights throughout. I would definitely book this again.

Our guide was fabulous, we are from this area and have been to Old Town many times but took us to places we had not been. We are looking forward to our next venture
