Use a local guide when helpful
A knowledgeable local guide can explain etiquette, translate and help you avoid interrupting business or private spaces. Ask in advance whether visits include purchases or entry fees.
Travel with consideration
Seek permission before photographing vendors, agree on prices respectfully and allow time for genuine conversation rather than rushing through a checklist.
Questions to ask before you go
- How much time should I allow for this part of the trip?
- What is included, and what should I arrange independently?
