Then we went to two different restaurants in trendy and beautiful neighbourhoods. Both restaurants were delicious, diversity of dishes, flavours, he recommended drinks as well. One guest from our group was a vegetarian and he catered to that with delicious alternatives. Over all is a tour that I would 100% recommend.”
