Great food experience!

isabella_B, Apr 2023
The tour was great and so the guide Nassim, very knowledgeable and friendly. He took us to eat delicious food in some of the most local and authentic places (I am a local so I know they were authentic) and check out some spectacular murals and markets. Definitely recommended! Make sure you go with an empty stomach, though. You will eat A LOT!
