This was an excellent tour, we departed Central staion in the bus, there were about 25 of us. Maeve is a very good host, she was making sure everyone was comfortable with the temperature etc.
Our first stop was the most amazing hot bread shop, the bread, straight out of the oven was delicious. A lot of people bought some to take home, and the smell on the bus was terrific.
The patisserie where we had a coffee, (best coffee I have had for ages), had some delicious pastries, we sampled a couple of things and bought some, superb. Then onto a spice shop with a huge diverse range of spices, nuts, fruits, amazing pickles and much more.
After a couple more stops we went to an Afghani family home where we had a demonstration of some dishes, and finished off with an amazing lunch. We had the option to purchase some of the food to take home which was very well received. My husband said it was the best middle eastern food he has ever had. My daughter came home with a big smile on her face, and had the most lovely day, which is a very special thing.
