    There was not much info shared on the tour or details about the food. Our tour guide was very friendly and nice; however, this experience did not add much and we could have wandered the market on our own. The price does not reflect what we would have spent st the market but would have been okay if there was more information shared

  • Best way to experience a busy market if you haven’t been there before
