Exceeded my expectations! Great guide, lots of variety and plenty of quantity of food and drinks on the tour paired with great stories of the neighborhood and country. There was even extra commentary on the local murals. Would highly recommend to anyone! There were even people in our group that were less adventurous eaters and they had a great time. Thank you!
