    Great brunch, very filling tour. Tyson was an awesome guide. As a solo woman traveling for business, my sightseeing time was limited, so I’m really glad I did the tour.

    I've really enjoyed this tour, it was just a right mix of historical facts, local food tasting and jokes. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, it was really easy for me to follow the tour and feel engaged and welcomed all the time. And, of course, English sense of humor and charm is something else :)
