About local Gilbert

Great tour, too much food

We thoroughly enjoyed our walking food tour with Gilbert. He gave us lots of background information about the city as well as the food. The quantity of food was enough for five full meals. Gilbert gave many containers of leftovers to homeless folks on the streets. The variety of dishes was wonderful. Go with an empty stomach!

22 April 2025

We had the pleasure of being guided by Christopher, and I must say he was an outstanding tour guide! His knowledge about the area and its history was impressive, and he was always ready to help with any questions we had. Not only that, his friendly demeanour made the experience all the more enjoyable. Thank you for providing such an excellent guide.
