Muy buen tour gastronómico! El tour es pago y cuesta €30. No es un free walking tour. A mi parecer un poco caro por lo que se hace. La guía muy buena y divertida!

Durch den üblichen Stau schrieb ich vor dem Treffen mein eventuelles Zuspätkommen.
Der Guru antwortete nicht, war wohl schon da und ist gegangen, hat aber jegliche Anrufversuche blockiert und auch nicht auf meine Nachrichten geantwortet, obwohl diese ankamen. Haben dann noch ne Stunde gewartet... Nichts passiert. Schade.
