“Vanesa was fantastic!! We went to a bunch of great spots and learned about food and wine regions along the way. One of the spots we liked so much we went back that night for dinner. And she had great recos, we ended up going to almost all of them while in the city and there wasn't a miss. I'm vegetarian and Vanesa didn't know beforehand. (I had emailed and conformed but I think there was a miscommunication and she didn't know before we arrived.) I was more than fine to skip food at some of the spots, but she was so quick to accommodate at every stop. Awesome experience.…”

Our host, Ivana, was everything you would want: knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We got lots of - but not too much! - information, all communicated clearly and passionately.
