There was only a total of a full meal and one specialty drink. This tour was way overpriced for the quality and quantity of food. Not recommended.

The guides were friendly and the atmosphere was good. There were also many unusual foods and the explanation was easy to understand. Caterpillars, in particular, can be eaten without prejudice.
