HAPPY CUSTOMERS

Our family of seven, ranging from teenagers to grandparents, booked this celebratory food tour with Alexandra Gill and each and every one of us raved about it. The teenagers were able to take an active role with the chefs and waiters, who made them part of the experience. The adults were awed by the beauty of the restaurants, the excellence of the food and drinks and by Alex’s extensive knowledge, which she eagerly shared with us. Alex was a stickler for detail, especially paying attention to food preferences and allergies. The tour was a wonderful experience and is highly recommended. Top-notch in every way!!”
