Loved our knowledgeable tour guide

Gins_G, May 2024

Danny shared real historical information we appreciated . Everyone was very kind. We learned a lot. The food was plenty to fill us up for the whole day!

Ok, the guide was the highlight.

Benjamin_W, Jan 2024

Pretty good tour overall. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. I thought there would be more "off the beaten path" foods. Everything was right on the main street and easily found without a guide.

A tour not to be missed

Tourleider met Corona die niet gemeld had dat hij ziek was.

Rudolph_L, Jan 2022

Nadat wij eerst ons hadden gemeld in het aangegeven restaurant zij de eigenaresse dat de tour er over 10 minuten zou zijn. (Dat vonden wij al raar) Wij mochten in het restaurant wachten. Na enige tijd vond ik telnr en na een aantal malen bellen meldde zich de tourleider aan de telefoon en meldde dat hij Corona had en 104 mensen had afgebeld maar ons vergeten was. Toen moesten wij nog een taxi terug vinden naar ons hotel. Heeft 30 (!) minuten geduurd, geen taxi in die buurt te krijgen. Bedankt eigenaresse van het restaurant die ons geholpen heeft. Wij hebben 2 x 30 dollar uitgegeven aan taxi's. Die zouden wij ook nog graag ontvangen.

Response from Host, Feb 2022

Because of a Covid quarantine we had to cancel people for more than a week. Your tour tickets were cancelled 4 days before the tour. We didnt forget to cancel and refund your tickets. You just never checked your email. You also put your house phone number and there was no way to contact you otherwise. Even if it was you neglegence, I have offered to cover your uber back, by sending you $ on paypal and you said you want cash. Next time you travel dont leave your phone number from the house. Tours can get cancelled for many reasons, especially safety.
