This was my first food tour and boy did John set the bar high! From his warm and inviting charm, to the vibe of feeling as if you were among friends you've known for awhile, to the takeaway handouts of other great recommendations, this was an awesome addition to a girls weekend trip. The food was IMPECCABLE, and the only true way to express how good was is to order you (the reader) to take a moment of silence for it..................................MMMM and amen! (LOL) Everything that touched our lips set off fireworks inside my mouth! The added bonus was that we got to do a lot of walking in-between tastings during which time John would provide interesting facts about the history of the neighborhood. Anytime I'm due to have company in town, or simply looking to break my diet for a good cause, you better believe I'm dialing John for another food tour :)

Ah-h-h-h... The trick is to, first, make everyone feel welcome...and then to slowly merge the group so that each guest feels "as if you were among friends you've known for awhile"!! There is great reason I keep my standard food tour to no more than 8 folks. Easier to chat...easier to find our common experiences...easier for me to remember names!!
Thanks, W., for the lovely review!! I did laugh out loud when you said "looking to break my diet"!! As you well know there are a lot of "portion-sized tastes" to enjoy...none of which would be classified as diet appropriate!! Thankfully, over the 4 hours together, there is a bit of walking...and story-telling....and history lessons... which makes great sense. Who wants to just eat the entire afternoon??!!
Let's do another tour!! A sweet discount for returning foodies!!
My best! John
