Our guide, Stephanie, was great. She was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious, and I enjoyed learning about the city and how each stop fits into the city's history. I've always thought food tours are a great way to get to know a place, and this one is no exception.
