Great city great views great food great guides
Was able to get a beautiful tour of the city with a knowledgeable guides Thomas on the tuk tuk and Melissa on the streets and restaurants. The food and drinks were wonderfully paired as well.
Tuk Tuk Fun!
I participated in the Tuk Tuk Food Tour with a small group of people, and Pedro did a great job! He was both quite informative and funny at the same time! Our Tuk Tuk driver also did a great job and was very nice and knowledgeable. The food and the company was good, and I believe it was money well spent!
