What a wonderful day and these experiences I will always treasure. Our guide, Pui, did an excellent job of helping me with my mobility issues. He also took wonderful [pictures of me and my adult son at every stop on the tour as well as positioning us for the best shots.

4.Private Floating & Railway Markets with Farm Visits

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 8 reviews

“The private pick-up service was good, the car was clean and fast. But the market has nothing authentic to offer. It's a tourist destination and only made for tourists. Not particularly nice, and definitely not clean. Overall, a mediocre experience.”
