Two of the people in our trip are slower walkers, and we were really pleased that she was able to accommodate for that. And then there was the food! I don’t want to spoil it for you so I won’t get into too much of what we tasted, but let’s just say it was out of this world. And ending the trip with a visit to the rooftop bar was fabulous. Can’t recommend this trip highly enough. Thank you, Lucy!”

It was a pleasant company day, cheerful, smiling, and her extraordinary laugh 😂 made us have a great evening 🍷🍽️. I expected a quality tour, which we had, but it greatly exceeded our expectations, both in quality and quantity 🤩. We ate in restaurants that were bigger than our own expectations 😋. Thank you very much, Caroline. As I told you that night: we will never see each other again, but we will never forget…”
