Negative: I did not enjoy the crepe served to us at Manasiri's Crepes, a better choice would be the chicken and pesto crepe the owner mentioned
Negative: it was recommended that we arrive hungry, I was not full at the end of this tour and I'm not a big eater, I am usually so full after attending past food tours that I do not need to eat dinner
Positive: Sonja was engaging and told our group many interesting information about the restaurants and the area around Monterey Wharf
Positive: the remaining four food locations were very good

Our recent tour with Jessica as our guide was excellent. We found her to be very pleasant, professional, and friendly, and she shared a lot of interesting and unique insights about Monterey.
For future visitors, we suggest requesting a list of restaurants in advance to enhance their experience.
