“We loved this tour - Stella was absolutely fantastic. She was friendly and helpful and shared great information. The food selections were great, too. The only thing we would change/did not love was that some food items were shared - people using hands or utensils in the same container. We would have preferred food to be separated at least by couple, especially in this semi post-Covid era. The shared food freaked us out a bit.”
