It was great having the food all paid for in the booking fee, as it meant we didn’t have to worry about getting money out in the market or having to choose which dishes to pay for. Tavrej also made sure we always had plenty of water, napkins and hand sanitiser, and made us feel safe at all times. A wonderful tour guide and a wonderful tour!”
