The guide was incredibly friendly and shared lots of interesting stories about the area, the food, and the local drinking culture. She was very kind and made everyone feel comfortable right away. After the tour ended, we still wanted to keep exploring, and she took the time to recommend some great bars for us to visit on our own. Thanks to her suggestions, we had an even better night. It was a fantastic experience and I would definitely recommend this tour.”
