5.00Enjoyed this tour with my husband. Chef Hi showed us round the markets and then we went on our basket boat tour. This involved wearing traditional hats. You have option to go spinning and do net fishing at additional price/tip. Crab finishing was limited. A couple minutes with a small fishing stick, with limited direction due to language barrier. The cooking class was excellent. We made 4 dishes and they altered for vegetarian. Very interactive and good food!
Great cooking with Delicious food, highly recommend!
