Sustainable tourism philosophy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We practice a sustainable tourism philosophy where we ensure that each restaurant we visit is paid fairly for the great food they serve us, and that the wait staff receives proper gratuities for their service.

We keep our tours small (maximum 16 people per tour) which won\u2019t overcrowd the street or overwhelm our tasting locations. We believe that our forward-thinking strategy will sustain an incredibly positive relationship between us, the restaurants, and the local residents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our philosophy ensures that our participants get the best experience possible. Finally, we carefully select only the most passionate and friendly local tour guides who can answer all your questions and give you the best tour possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>
