“I really enjoyed this tour! Our guide Giuliano was super friendly and fun, and we had a great time with the rest of the group as well. The whole experience felt very relaxed – not too rushed, but still with plenty to see. We got to enjoy a nice variety of street art, and I especially liked that the food portions were generous — not just a little bite or half a sandwich, but a full serving.
