H., what a fun group activity! Rachel told me about the exciting tour she had on Saturday - and you might not know this, but I had a meeting that afternoon at Charm School the same time the tour was there, and it sure looked like everyone was having a great time! - Brian

We had a group of 5 that went out to celebrate my birthday; none of us had done a local food tour before. Had a blast trying new foods and learning about the are we live in. Rachel and Elise were very nice and knew a lot about the area. Going back soon for another tour!

Happy birthday! We design our food tours for locals, so I hope you'll come back for another - maybe next year?! - Brian
