Summary:
I had such an amazing experience. I loved the train ride, loved the boat ride through the market. Our guide, Maria was also amazing. Everything went as planned. She gave us very clear instructions on where to meet at points on our excursion. You’ll have time to do things on your own with clear instructions on where to meet at what time with pictures included.
I would 100% recommend this to anyone I love and care about because I know they’ll love it as much as I did.
