Cara was a delight! We really enjoyed our afternoon with her! The food was great, the conversation was amazing and we all had a wonderful time. There was just enough walking to burn off a good portion of the calories that we consumed. Will be recommending this for any other visitors that we have coming in to the area.
How freaking wonderful

Milk was phenomenal with great energy and made an amazing effort to bring the whole group together. He had a local after recommendation that we attended which was amazing. 10 out of 10.
Not the greatest !

Our guide Lauren was really energetic and promoted our stops with enthusiasm. She was knowledgeable of the area and knew how to do her job. However, the cost of this tour was not worth what we paid and sorry to say the food stops were far from delicious. The Ethiopian which was the first stop was acceptable with a nice glass of wine and it did allow for a decent sample of the restaurant. The food at the deli was pretty good but to be sat outside on chairs by the curbside and handed a toothpick of a sausage sample was so so. The deli sandwich piece was the best food of the tour. The taco stop #3 was pumped was downright sad with a cold veggie taco and a plastic cup of water. Of course then you get all excited for the bakery at the end of the tour to be a cup or tea or coffee and a packaged blondie brownie not really worth writing home about for sure was to say the least. All just sad. There was no selection of anything on this tour like others in the past. Could have at least been offered since not everyone is vegetarian. Maybe adding some chips and salsa would have been a nice side? So try something else and don’t waste your money on something that you think you will be satisfied from.
