Sample Amazon flavors at Mercado Adolpho Lisboa in a small-group Manaus market food tour with regional fruit tastings and bilingual guides.
“Guide had only a very basic knowledge of English. Difficult to comprehend him and difficult for him to understand us. He gave very little information to us about where we visited. The transportation was in his personal car that was way too small for a driver plus four adults passengers. He kept promising that a bigger car was coming but it never happened. He did not take us to see all the market. We missed the fish market almost totally. Saw only a bit of it as we later discovered on another market tour. This tour was not even worth half the value of what we paid. I will not…”

“The tour itself (as a tour) was great - knowledgeable guide, enough time at all spots, "exotic landscape" (from a European point of view at least :) ), nice lunch opportunity (price not included though - don't forget), but I honestly... I was not too impressed with the wines, except at the third (out of three) vineries.”
