It was a wonderful tour experience inside of the market. Our tour guides did a wonderful job explaining the food and the place it has in the local culture. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Great tour, we were the only 2 participants so we had very individual attention from the guides. The guides were very knowledgeable about the market's history and food that we tasted. The guides selected great foodstands. You will be eating lots of food - xl drink, 3 stands with 2 tacos at each and finally a selection of candies.
