“An early start, but worth it for a visit to these well-known markets. Really enjoyed the train ride to the market, then the train leaves and you have the experience of seeing the stalls move aside off the train tracks and squashing in to keep out of the way as the train passes! The floating market was enjoyable but very busy and lots of ‘tourist tat’ (this was in contrast to the railway market). But still, it was interesting to experience. Our guide was so informative and helpful - he was great!”
