Our guide (Bennedatta) was wonderful. Knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. She showed us all the things we wanted to see - markets, little independent shops and even done landmarks. The foods she chose for us to taste were delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and will definitely recommend to others.

Excellent guide. Interesting places, food and drink. A pleasant experience at a manageable pace. Recommended. And another sentence as my review didn't have enough characters.
