This was billed as a food tour, however, not one bite of food was offered! It was also billed asmoderate walking, we walked 5.5 miles over rough terrain, up and down 25 flights of stairs! This is not moderate walking! Tour guide was fine, not great, however. Plus, she was 35 minutes late, which made us almost miss our afternoon tour. Cannot recommend this tour until you get it billed correctly.
