Better to pass. - We had 3 food stops, nothing exciting. Guide was fine but tried to get me to cancel my desert tour and book with them, $100 less for a way less experience, I just wanted a food tour not a sell me tour, also the tea place was good but I wish I could sample the tea instead of just smelling it. Go visit the gold market alone and sample some food it will be a better experience.

Disappointed - He was 90 mins late, and the food tour was not what I had expected at all. I don’t think I will go back to this company.
