1.00Th tour guide was very friendly but super young and didn't really know a lot. When he arrived he was not prepared to take people on the tour that had been to Mahane yehuda. My daughter knew more than him. After sampling two foods he said that’s enough and we should take a break. We proceeded to head out of the market. Basically it was a waste of my money.
