“Really good food tour and learning experience. Our guide was friendly and engaging. You could tell she really understands and loves the food culture. Also, it was pretty crappy weather and some stalls that we were meant to visit closed early. Our guide did a nice job pivoting to other stalls. It was a nice amount of food, especially if you are hungover from Oktoberfest and don’t eat breakfast beforehand.”
