Wonderful Deli Experience - Nick the guide was great - very knowledgeable and entertaining, he made the tour really enjoyable. We learnt a huge amount that we would never have known otherwise and ate much more than we thought possible - the pickles in particular were very surprising! Thoroughly recommended.
