I love good tours and have done them domestically and internationally. I think it’s the best way to get the feel and see the culture of a city. I’m a local and we signed up for this as a staycation activity with my sons. The tour guide was late, she is human.. it happens.. easily recoverable. However there was no apology or acknowledgment..
for the most part, I think the choices made for the tour were great. The issue I have was time management.. it started 15 minutes late. The timeframe should’ve been 11 to 2… we still weren’t finished with the last stop at 2:45. The last stop was not good and I didn’t even get the tasting and I ended up leaving with my sons. Then it was another 1015 minute walk back to the start of the food tour. All in all the day was beautiful, but the tour guide needs to pay attention more and be more organized.. I definitely would not do that to again

We did the downtown tour with Jack. Jack was a phenomenal guide! He was super personable, shared knowledge and history about the food stops and area, and is a good foodie. We even went back to one of our stops later on our trip. Def recommend!
