We were offered a helmet to,use, and a bottle of water. Carlos gave a very informative history of Guatemala and coffee production.

“I seriously doubt you’ll eat better than on this journey. Okay, not fine dining — but it was a terrific introduction to Vienna’s cafe culture, and I’ve yet to experience a better schnitzel (this tour will ruin other restaurants for you). Like so many cultures, the best eats were in the hole-in-the-wall places. If you want the famous, touristy places, look elsewhere — this tour is for folks who want to see Vienna as a local (as advertised), and learn a bit of local lore along the way. No need for breakfast, or dinner, with this tour. You’ll sample all sorts of sweets and savories, with a very full stomach.…”

It was a full day, but not overpoweringI would recommend the tour to anyone who is interested is seeing how Addis lives its daily life both in terms of food and general daily existence. My only suggestion would be, given that this is a culinary tour, for one stop to be at the kitchen of some reputable chef who will show how to use the many herbs and spices that Ethiopians put into the food. It is one thing to know how the bread (injera) is…”
