Eating in the hawker and local street food spots really added to our enjoyment. The time flew past and we will be telling everyone we know to come and try it out! We also really enjoyed the trishaw ride. The drivers were good fun and we also loved playing around with the street…”

The tour was a fantastic exploration of food, history, culture and religion, which gave us the perfect introduction to the city. Erina's deep understanding of the area was impressive.
