“We had a bit of a rocky start because of email issues initially but Viator acknowledged their oversight which was no reflection on the tour operator at all and 'made things right' for us. Bravo Viator for stepping up! As for the tour itself, we absolutely loved the Market walk and class. Cecilia was wonderful. The Market walk was really incredible because I was introduced to new products that I'd never seen or used before. Major bonus! And although we had visited that Market twice before on our own, her connections with the vendor/s showered us even more special treatment in terms of samples, history and origins of particular ingredients.…”
