Fantastic family bussiness - Fantastic experience. Great selection of unique and original cheeses from local farmers. We loved the stories behind each of them. We were able to purchase our favourite cheese as shop provided vacuum packing that allow us to travel with them.

Interesting tasting of cheese - We were able to taste a variety of very good cheeses and previously unknown cheeses (e.g. herbal cheese), from which we also bought something afterwards. A lot of background knowledge about cheese production was also provided.

All right! - He explained very well on the subject of Swiss cheese, then we bought 200g of each, you will eat there is not his place, it happens with small pieces of five types of cheese, it is a very intensive class of Swiss cheeses. Excellent

They last minute canceled - The evening before the tour at 11pm they sent a txt saying the time had changed 1.5 hours earlier. Since it was late I didn’t get until the morning and it was too late to change our plans but then at 8:45 I received a we’ve canceled this tour email. Felt like since we booked on TripAdvisor and it was cheaper than through them directly that prompted the cancellation.
