“Wandring the streets and seeing the many different types of food was interesting. However, tasting so many different items was a delight - we would never have tried many of these items if we were on our own. Also, we were very fortunate that our guide is a chef. This made his comments and information so much more meaningful. There was a little confusion about the meeting point, as there are several entrances. However, we sorted it out. Thjis could be improved by stating that the meeting place is at the Information Desk by the main entrance.”
