There was plenty of food to taste- more than I could manage. Come hungry but it’ll be fine if you don’t scarf down every bite. The tour ended in Old Town right as the market was setting up and in a convenient location to take a stroll in and out if you like. I can’t speak highly enough of Gigi. She was a great guide.”

The helpers were wonderful as well, making sure everything ran smoothly and that we were always comfortable. The pacing, variety of food, and organization were excellent.
