Marina did a great job of showing us the Riverwalk area and giving us a great variety of food. Wish we could have had ice cream. She is very knowledgeable and fun answering all our silly questions.

This was a great tour. Aubre was an excellent tour guide. The stops were great. 4 stops which I thought was few. But the portions were so large it was so much food. Definitely worth them$$.
