    Our guide Mel was very nice and explained a lot about the history of the area and the food. We enjoyed our time with her. The foods we tried were fine. There were some things she showed us that we may have never found on our own. We enjoyed the tour and this was one of the better food tours we have been on albeit a bit too expensive in my opinion for what value you get.

    Our guide, Andrea, and her team were professional and very enjoyable. The way she interacted with the community we move through was exceptional. Food choices were delicious albeit fried food was prevalent as street food. We were all very full and happy. I completely recommend this tour!
