We loved our food tour with Jorge. After doing other food tours in different cities, a tour by a true local is always the best. A little over two hours was the perfect length, and our group of eight was a perfect size. At first, we thought four stops might not be enough, but the food is plentiful and the time to sit at the second and third stops to chat with Jorge and our other travelers was really nice. We brought our two teenage daughters, and they loved it as well. There is a good mix of food for different preferences, and everything we tried was delicious. Definitely recommend.
