Excellent walking tour. Shawn was very friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable of the area. I really enjoyed the variety of food and the candy shop. I will say, I didn't like that I had to share my pie. I believe the restaurant could have divided the pie in the appropriate portions.

The tour was great. When we signed up the menu included a bourbon drink! Somehow, the bourbon drink was turned into a Moscow Mule. We had 4 people in the party none of us like Moscow Mules. Needless to say we did not drink them. If a substitution is being made ask the people what they may prefer. Actually, the bourbon drink would pair better than the Mule, with the food tastings we had. And it was Father’s Day and every dad looks forward to bourbon!

Isaac was a great host and guide! Our group was fun. I enjoyed the experience but I felt the Pie Emporium was rude to us.
