Emily was so delightful. She was very knowledgeable about the city, the food and anything else we asked. The stops were interesting and varied and quite tasty.

Excellent experience with Emily! She was wonderful. She brought us to great local food places (and some history) in town , N’AT!!! When we first met her at the museum, already she gave us each a half baguette lardons ( c’est dèlicieux ) and the food kept coming. We were so pleasantly full after. Enjoyed our time with her.

We had a good time and enjoyed the food choices. Started with a fantastic baguette brought by our host, but would have loved to have started at the bakery instead. Same with peorogies, would have liked to see the restaurant, but the kielbasa was great! Ended with a few sweet stops, would have liked a drink to be one of them.
