Market Tour with Andrew

Andrew gave us a great tour. He picked us up at the hotel (private tour) and took us to many local highlights. He spoke English very well. Luckily, he had extra metro cards for the 2 of us to use, which was a nice detail. I highly recommend him and would use him again. He also took great photos!!
