Reviews
While our guide was friendly and a good sport, the tour itself was not anything we couldn’t have done on our own. We truly just walked through the market. Also, we had members with seafood allergies, which was mentioned, but not necessarily taken into consideration with the food stops, ie places where even the beef or chicken were prepared with or cooked in seafood-based products so he missed out on half the tour stops. Definitely did not need three hours
