Excellent
Manu was a wonderful guide. She was enthusiastic about the food, enthusiastic about her city and made us both feel very welcome. She discussed the history and was very informative. The food was delicious, our favourite was definitely the artichokes but it was very varied and things we hadn't tried before. It was definitely a full tummy experience! We would recommend the tour with Manu but would also look at similar things in different cities.
