The tour runs two to three hours and suits all fitness levels; let the guide know about food allergies when you book.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to eat real food at real neighborhood spots instead of a restaurant built for tourists, and if hearing why each place matters—from someone who grew up eating there—changes how the meal tastes.
