If you want to enjoy some unique and delicious food & drink while learning about the rich history of the Roma Norte neighborhood, this tour is an excellent way to spend an afternoon. Elba was a fantastic tour guide- friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what she does. A 10/10 experience. :)

What a fun day out, we explored so many great parts of the historic centre and tasted a wide spread of local dishes at 8 amazing stops. Jimenna's (spelling?) local knowledge, friendliness and enthusiastic approach was the best part of the tour. Would highly recommend 👌
