our host Mateo was brilliant and the lamb kofte was the highlight. Used it for our summer trip so it wasnt too busy. Worked great for a solo traveller like me, and tried about 8 dishes, and we hit 6 tastings. Would book again no question, no joke

our host Sofia was brilliant and a glass of the local red was the highlight. On a rainy sunday so it wasnt too busy. Miles ahead of a similar food tour we tried in rome, and ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and rolled home properly stuffed. Would book again no question, def recommend
