Very nice experience with Gentjan. It was more than just a food tour as we discussed history, culture, and the future of the city/country. Interesting to learn so much while we walked and enjoyed so much food. Going to small side street locations and walking through in more common areas. He explained what most people miss as they walk by. I ate almost too much with some extra for later.
