    The first time we booked we had to cancel due to a health problem one of my children had. Fortunately I let them know and they had no problem refunding my money. A few days later I booked again and it was one of the most beautiful full days we have ever done. Beautiful scenery and the service of our guide 5/5.

    The clog workshop and the cheese factory were my favourites! All the landscapes were beautiful but there was nothing better than experiencing the manufacturing processes first hand. It was very interesting to get to know these parts of the country.
