This was a very varied trip - 2 boats (one bigger and one rowed boat), several stops - chocolate factory, sweets, fruits and music and lunch. This kept our kids (pre teens) amused. As flagged it is not touristy so recommend.

Tony was such a great guide. So joyful and helping. He gave us facts about each place we visited. Inspite of it raining a lot he made sure to help us get through the day with ease and comfort. The lunch prepared was as per our liking and so tasty. The cooking part was fun! Would definitely recommend this trip, and Tony as a guide for anyone who has a day at hand, and wants to explore the local culture
