Jose gave an informed account of the history & food history of his city. It helped us afterwards when dining - what dishes were local, how they were developed & what to order. Thanks Jose.

We enjoyed the history and food tour. We had taken a history tour the day before so a few of the stops were the same. We still learned some new information and we tried two of the restaurants that were recommended by Jose Manuel - Amaltea and Lagar de Orive. Both were great.
