We really enjoyed our tour with Chuck on 11.8.2025. The weather was beautiful. Chuck was well organized and expedited our experience so that we could make the most of the tour and our day. He is a good story teller and he is fun/funny. Arrive with an appetite! Highly recommend, even for locals.
Chuck, our guide was amazing, fun and a great storyteller! We had great foods that I continue to dream of and can’t wait to go back to the market and get more! Thanks Chuck!!
