Amazing food Tour - We did the food street tour though intrepid on 31st October. The tour exceeded my expectations, the stories and history was so interesting and the food was amazing. What I loved is that there would be no way I would have found these places by myself. Tran was a great guy l, very friendly with a lot of personality
