“Het was top de gids was super enthousiast en erg duidelijk, de dames met wie we gingen koken zo ontzettend hartelijk. We waren 3 uur met deze dames samen en we hebben veel gedeeld. Toen er gegeten moest worden kwam de eigenaresse binnen en veranderde de relaxte sfeer. Ze eiste alle aandacht op, de vriendelijke dames trokken zich terug. Jammer ik vroeg eten jullie mee? Maar toen gilde de eigenaresse ik eet toch met jullie. Met andere woorden ze hadden hun taak voldaan en moesten nu weg. Erg jammer, autoritair en een tikkeltje narcistisch. Telefoon op luidspreker en een gesprek hardop laten afspelen tijdens het eten… heel bijzonder. In ieder…”

This family tour company runs a number of small tours around the area, from our cooking class to trail running and hiking.
