Brilliant market tour.
Anne_H, Aug 2022
Information received was excellent from a very knowledgeable guide. The tour was well planned with an obvious relationship with stall holders. Probably needs some audio help as it’s quite noisy and difficult to hear everything. Probably more a market tour than a food tour

The guide had lots of information about the different areas of the market and related it well. Quite a few foods to try, you definitely don't need lunch afterwards. Well worth it.
