Short summer vacation in the Bornholmske

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you are in Bornholm, you owe yourself a visit to the Café Plateau in Gudhjem. This is simply an experience of a special class. The food is fantastic, beautifully decorated and filled with taste, and the sea view makes the visit unique. What really elevates the experience is the hospitality. Christie and Oliver are fantastic hosts who with smiles, profits and true passion make all guests feel welcome. You notice that they are burning for the place, and the good mood is contagious. It is undoubtedly one of the best restaurant experiences we have had. Five stars isn’t enough – Café Plateau deserves more. We look forward to the next visit!

Nice tour of Eiffel Tower & river cruise

Experience was great esp the person who showed around but felt guided Eiffel Tower was very short. The river cruise was very good.

Eiffel Tower

Great way to see Paris from the top. Tour with elevator was canceled due to heat but was able to climb the stairs to the second floor. Glad we were able to enjoy the experience.

Absolutely incredible experience full of history, great memories and incredible views

We had the most amazing experience with our absolutely incredible and talented guide, Ana B., ever. She not only introduced us to the history of the tower itself, but also let us know the history of the whole city. These two hours flew by because of how fluently the conversation went and how friendly, respectful and welcoming Ana was. When I come to Paris next time, we’d definitely want to get a tour by her as well. Thanks a lot to City Wonders!
