We really enjoyed our tour with Diego. He was very informative both about the city and the food, and gave us lots of interesting anecdotes. The food and drink choices were excellent - we particularly enjoyed the vermouth tasting and the charcuterie. The amount of walking and the time and distance between stops was perfect
