Not bad but not great, a glass of the local red we like but tried about 8 dishes only. Maybe can improve, little bit expensive.

our host Kenji was nice enough, but the homemade dumplings felt a bit rushed honestly, and over easter break.

our host Leila really knew their stuff and a glass of the local red was the highlight. For our anniversary so it wasnt too busy. Perfect for first-timers, and we hit 6 tastings, and went last tuesday. Would book again no question.

our host Hana was brilliant and a fish taco from a tiny street stall was the highlight ... Booked it for my birthday so it wasnt too busy. Miles ahead of a similar food tour we tried in seville, and worked great for a solo traveller like me, and rolled home properly stuffed. Would book again no question.
