    The food was good. We...

    Sarah_C, Mar 2026
    The food was good. We were full after the 3rd stop and couldn’t eat much more. Some of the places felt very touristy though. Our tour was awkward because it was just my partner and I. The tour guide didn’t really tell us anything about the area or the food. She didn’t know the neighborhoods well.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    We appreciate your comments regarding the guiding and the level of information shared during the tour. Providing context about the food and the area is an important part of the experience, and we will address this with our team to improve it moving forward. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food and that the portions were generous. Our tours are small-group experiences, so the number of guests can vary depending on bookings — sometimes it’s just two people, while other times the group is larger. We also carefully select spots that are popular with locals rather than tourist-focused restaurants. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts.
