William Oct 2025

Micheal found the most wonderful eating establishments for us to try local cuisine. That's exactly what we wanted from this tour,to see places we would never find on our own and eat foods we didn't know about! It was perfect right down to the coffee and dessert.

Michael was a great tour guide and took us to off the beaten path restaurants, took us through great neighborhoods and selected great dishes. He also shared some nice stories about local culture.
