Insider spots with a great guide
Many different opportunities to try little bites while learning the insider spots. It's fun and easy to walk the market alone, but much better with Raqel's insight. One of the highlights was the place that has the pure maccha ice cream, which was way more rich and creamy than the typical also-tasty soft serve. Another was a honey-based vendor that I would have walked right by without Raqel. She was a terrific guide. At the end, she even walked us to the meeting point of our next tour!
