Joseph made this a great tour. His knowledge of the area, the history of the markings on the buildings...making sure to point out interesting facts about the residents who occupied the apartments in the past, and who stayed. We enjoyed the pace and the food. Getting to see how the food is still made by hand. We even went back to buy more Dim Dum, but they were closed Wed. Definitely worth every penny. Wish we could give him 10 stars.
