“The guide was fairly good. Group size was manageable. We struggled to find the guide at the start an had to call. Another couple had the same issue. May need to consider a better starting point. Calling it a food experience is a stretch. We sampled 2 treats that were not fresh but came from a supermarket packet out of guide's backpack (ie biscuits). Glogg was actually quite nice. Disappointed the Christmas markets were closed. This was not easily identified in the booking that this would not be included.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
