Can I do few stops on one day and the rest on the other?
We recommend to do all stops in one day to have full experience, but we understand that sometimes you can’t try all food and want to split it. So yes, you can split it for few days, but please keep in mind that after booking you get a time slot, and if you split there is a high chance that when you come next day place can be booked with other visitors.
