Maybe not with the price. - The tour was advertised as Cheese, Chocolate, Chapel Bridge and Chateau, but when we arrived at the meeting spot we were told that the lift to the Chateau was under repair and we would not be going there. Our tour guide, Luis, was very good and said we would make the best of our time together, but really, we should have been notified before the tour of the change and given a chance to cancel. This was a very expensive tour for a stop at a Laderach Chocolate store (a place we had stopped at on our own previously), and have a glass of wine at each of two wine bars with cheese served. We saw the Chapel Bridge, but we didn’t even walk on it. We expected more.

Expensive and not worth the price - Guide was lovely and very knowledgeable which was great, but it was a very expensive tour for what you got. The chocolate experience was a very short tasting and they simply gave you a bag of chocolates to take away. Why not let you stay around and look and purchase some and also hear abit more about their chocolate. The castle part you couldn’t go into the hotel at the top which was disappointing. The cheese and wine was lovely. All in all ok but overpriced.

Waste of money - First let me say that Nina our tour guide was precious and knowledgeable. She was courteous and kind. No where in the description of the tour did it say we would be walking the entire time. The four of us paid over $900 for this and now way was it even worth half. The wine tasting and cheese portion was beyond disappointing. We got a taste of either white or red wine. No discussion other than they can’t produce enough to export. The portion we were each given was enough for a couple of sips. Then our guide said goodbye and left us sitting there. Yep. The end. Again in her defense she couldn’t get in contact with the owner regarding the add on cruise portion we paid for so she ran over to the dock to figure that out for us. She was kind enough to send me the info on WhatsApp. Not sure what someone would have done had we not had the app. We would not recommend this tour to anyone.
