No recommend - The tour was quite boring. The guide took us to boring market in which the guide did not even help us when we were interested to buy a shirt. After 10 min of waiting for him to jump in and ask a sales staff to help us, I had to ask him to get us help. We were looking for markets to see local authentic food or local authentic arts but we did not get to see anything like this. We were taken to one temple and it was hot and again no info
