Vegetarian request well done79gk
Alexander our food tour guide was on time and was very patient and kind with my elderly mother. He made sure she was okay every step of the way and we never felt rushed at all. As per my booking request, Alexander was also aware of my mother’s vegetarian preference and ensured all the 4 food stops provided for her accordingly. Food was varied and fun to try. Overall, a pleasant experience!
