    George went to great lengths to accommodate our wishes for this trip. He absolutely managed to find the right balance between information, entertainment and giving us the time to just enjoy taking in the sights. No question was left unanswered either on the spot or by text-reference later

    Great food tour. At our host’s suggestion, we altered the start time to later as more restaurants were likely to be open. We were very happy with the restaurants selected and our host made additional recommendations and sent map directions so we could try them on our own time.
