This was such a wonderful...

Cindy_P, May 2024

This was such a wonderful and informative tour! My sister and I had a great time and learned a lot that was not mentioned in other tours we have taken that covered the same areas. I highly recommend this fun tour!

Meh

Stephanie_S, Mar 2023

It was decent. I would skip this honestly. Also, MOST of the shops if not all inside the market were already closed. If you want to do this tour, book for an early one. I was truly disappointed:/

Very interesting

Char_S, Dec 2022

We had a great time. Carolyn was very interesting and knowledgeable about the market. She gave us several recommendations of things to do and places to eat.
