“The guide was awesome. Harry was super knowledgeable and was able to have a very interesting conversation with us, answering all our questions and giving us tons of info. We felt it was very expensive for the amount of food we received. It says 10 tastings. We counted 6 and given that 3 were in the local market it was doubtful that those items cost more than about $10 USD. we paid $156 USD for the tour. We always take a food tour when we travel and enjoy meeting the locals and trying the different items. The tour and conversation were excellent but the food portion really fell short.”

“The time was listed as 9a on my booking, but then, when they emailed me the day before, they had changed it to 1p. The tour was very awkward because there was only the two of us.
