Zara our host very good, and a fish taco from a tiny street stall we love it. Is much better than the food tour we do in Seville before. We are very happy, recommend to all!

our host Yusuf sorted everything for us and the warm baklava at the last stop was the highlight, and fine even with my dodgy knee, and rolled home properly stuffed.

our host Andrei really knew their stuff and the warm baklava at the last stop was the highlight, and good as a half-day option, and tried about 8 dishes.
