The right amount of food and the right amount of history - We normally don't write reviews but we're compelled to leave a review on this tour because Nabil gave a very entertaining and informative tour for us. We noticed the warm relations he had with the restaurant people he knew. A very nice young man

Excellent seafood lovers tour! - We had an excellent private tour with Molly Mitchell. She was very knowledgeable and shared so much history and information that we would not have known otherwise. The food tastings were delicious and filling. Molly was also very patient with our maneuvering through sidewalks with a wheelchair. We could not have asked for a more informative and pleasant tour guide. Would definitely recommend this tour to all seafood lovers. Would go again in a heartbeat.
