such a great way to get to know the neighborhood a bit more!
Very easy to schedule and everything was so fun
Great food selections and fantastic tour guide in Mike! We are locals and received this as a gift and we’re pleasantly surprised to go to places we had never been to before. We will be buying future tours in the city for ourselves in different locations.
