So much food!
Superb small group food tour with Kylie. We were booked on the afternoon tour and had so much to eat we had no need for an evening meal! Kylie was lovely and very knowledgeable. This is the second tour booked with Backstreet Tours and they have been excellent. Highly recommend using them!
