We had confusion with the booking that had stated ‘food sampling’ but being told on arrival that no food tasting was included. Mitch, our lovely guide, made several phone calls as we walked through the Buddhist temple and on to the fish market, and managed to switch us to a food tasting itinerary. This was much appreciated and we sampled an interesting range of foods, culminating in a sizeable sushi lunch in a restaurant. We paid extra for the switch but the original price was less than £20 each so this wasn’t a problem. Really worthwhile and lovely food. Mitch was knowledgeable, helpful and a great guide
