Vincent was engaging, full of stories and shared his knowledge of the culture with lots of history behind all the spots. Several new drinks and dishes added for my enjoyment. Highly recommended. Superior guide. Hired him for all day tour privately shortly after, and very pleased.

Perhaps, food portions could have been smaller to give us the opportunity to experience more dishes once there are so many different plates we would have like to have had a bite.

Definitely worth it!The tour was a wonderful combination of food, culture, and history. We made the mistake of eating a light breakfast before - come hungry! Within the first 10 minutes we already had delicious appetizers and noodles in front of us. All of the food was delicious. Highly recommend it to anyone!
