Works great for solo travellers as well! - Marianne did an amazing job telling as much as she could in just 1,5 hours. The tasters were a great experience as well. Great for some solo trip entertainment, since the groups aren’t too big.

No gastronomic walk unfortunately - The guide never showed up! I did get a message with an apology afterwards. We were very sorry. It wasn't so much about the money as the experience...
