Excellent tour! I loved the combination of food and history. The guide, Tom, really knew the area and introduced us to local artisans. Not only was the coffee, chocolate, and more was delicious, but I really loved learning how to find great food back home.

Pros: Meeting local aritisans and seeing how the food is made

One of the best tours I ever taken! My wife and I loved the combination of food and history. At each stop the guide got us behind-the-scenes, so we not only tried different foods, but we also learned how everything was made, from coffee, chocolate, breads, and more. The people at each stop were great and we felt like we really got to experience the area. I told all friends to take this tour!

Pros: Good combination of food and history
