Our tours are like a nice walk with local friends over some great local food.
We take you to places you wouldn’t find. We serve you delicious local food you wouldn’t order on your own. And we tell you things you wouldn't google. Since 2016, we’ve been dedicated to creating unforgettable culinary experiences that go beyond the ordinary. Unlike big, franchised tours, we avoid the cookie-cutter one-size-fits-all approach. We believe every journey should be as unique as the city itself—vibrant, rich in history, and bursting with flavor.
