It's a great experience for groups large and small, whether you're on a team-building tour or celebrating a birthday. There's a good chance you haven't eaten some of this food before!

Weekday tours are 3 hours. --Bring a reusable water bottle, if possible. --Tour is rain or shine. --I try to run a "greener" tour by providing compostable utensils + plates where possible.
