Is “Eat Like a Local” a great option to experience the local cuisine
If you fancy getting under the skin of a place, or fancy skipping those shiny but sort of empty restaurants, then, too, this type of excursion might be a ticket. It provides access to genuinely unique, family-run spots, where you could taste true home cooking or some unique creations of chefs instead of just what they figure travelers want. Moreover it offers insight to local culture and a little help on local language, beyond a quick lesson on the best spots from where to click pics or what time to reserve loungers at, that is to say, fancy beach resorts.
