This was my first food tour, and I loved it. The diversity of food styles, restaurants, and information provided was ideal. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely recommend.

We are from New Zealand and I booked this walking food tour after reading about it on Trip advisor . And we had the best time . Aleena our guide was exceptional . Her knowledge and bright and bubbly personality just made our experience. I am a keen foodie and she answered all my questions and even provided recipes and helpful hints . My husband wasn’t initially enthusiastic about me booking this tour but he loved it and agreed a great way to see more of this beautiful city and be amongst local people . Ask for Aleena , she’s just fantastic.

Really wonderful tour, entertaining and informed tour leader, ample and interesting food for us (unlike what other reviewers noted). Enjoyed the experience and learned a good bit about a neighborhood we've been to, but didn't know all that much about!
