“Kiko and Sarah were terrific! We got to try many local dishes, prepared by local eateries, that we never would have been exposed to. Everything was delicious and by the end, I couldn't eat any more. Lots of background stories - an evening that is well worth the cost. If you have a free evening, I highly recommend this food tour.”
