So much food! And a great tour too. - I highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Lara, is extremely knowledgeable and very caring and attentive to the group. She explained much about the history and culture of the city as we walked through various areas. The tasting part is highly under represented in the description. There is a LOT of food. More than a simple snack. We tried multiple preparations of reindeer, bear, and seafood, as well as caviar, cheeses, jams, and breads. The last stop was the chocolatier! It is really a wonderful tour and I would highly recommend it.

Great tour and guide - The tour guide, Lara, was terrific--very knowledgeable, professional, polite, and helpful. Perfect weather--clear and cool--and the pastry and coffee shops were outstanding. The food tasting was a great experience, from caviar to bear meat.
