He was amazing and the food was brilliant, I think if we did not have the guide with his knowledge and warmth of character and just how funny he was it would of put a bit of a dampener on the tour but credit to him he was amazing so hopefully he knows that. I also don't think the fermented shark is too bad 😂 Thankyou for the experience”
