I had signed up for this tour and was contacted the day of to cancel because I was the only attendee. Tom really took the time and effort to make sure I was rebooked and still had a great time on a tour the following day. Scott is a fantastic tour guide who really knows his history about the city. The food tastings were fantastic and plentiful. Definitely a tour to book if you were looking for some culture and to try out great local tastes.
