Awesome food tour
I had a fantastic food experience. Xin is a great guide who knows the area and restaurants very well. The variety and quality of the food was both excellent as well as the portions (as a solo traveller I ate about a third of each meal and was full by the end of the tour). The restaurants were all fairly close to each other if you are concerned about walking distances. Xin is also very knowledgeable about the food and culture and speaks excellent English. I highly recommend this tour.

Good local food spots
Did this solo and had a great time. The guide was friendly, and clearly knew the area well. Communication was smooth throughout. Good English, clear instructions about the meeting point, and easy to reach over WhatsApp beforehand. Led me to spots I'd never have found on my own, with a good mix of local street food and nothing overly touristy.
A solid way to get a genuine feel for the district's food scene.
