The market visit was a highlight—not only did we shop for our cooking, but she also helped me find spices that are hard to get overseas and introduced me to delicious street food. Back at her beautiful home, we cooked together while she shared so much knowledge about spices, oils, and bread-making techniques.

Our group had just five people, including the host, JD. From the moment we arrived, the fun began and continued throughout. The city’s smells, sights, and sounds can be overwhelming, but JD guided us through it all effortlessly. We visited a couple of religious sites, where we received a brief yet informative insight into the places of worship. We even got to help out in the kitchen at one of them. JD then…”

The nice thing about this tour is that our tour guide was extremely flexible in regards to how long we wanted to stay at each market, when we wanted to eat, and order of the schedule.
