5.00I had a great time going to both markets. NJ, my tour guide, made the trip really enjoyable. She was very nice and informative during the trip and handed out water, snacks, and cooling wipes. I highly recommend checking out this tour. It was fun to ride the train, see the stands fold up at the train market, and ride a boat through the floating market.
