Jerry was an amazing tour guide and teacher. I was taken on scooter (which was amazing) to the old town where the tea shop was. I walked around the farmers market and then we learned to play mahjong! Jerry was really patient as I had to take notes and photos. It turns out that I am a quick learner and we we able to get to higher level lessons. Jerry worked on cruise ships so is very good personality and speaks English very well. Do this! There is also a cooking class at the same place, I wish I had time to do that one too!

Really good tour. Went to a local wet market, tour of the local area and then on to play mahjong. Our guide, Lance was amazing. Easy to talk with and helped to play mahjong. We shared some fruit and nuts that he purchased for us at the market and some green tea. Would highly recommend the tour as a lovey way to see how the locals live and their love of games.
