Good, with ups and downs. Not the cheapest, but justified. The dessert was the weakest part of the meal.

Positive overall, with room to improve. They gave us plenty of notice about a schedule change. Having guided pairing with wines, beers, or tropical drinks makes it more complete. The dessert was the weakest part of the meal. A good experience on balance.

Valeu cada centavo. O guia deu dicas de restaurantes que foram certeiras. A região de Saboreie à noite é outra coisa. O preço é honesto pelo que se recebe. Sem dúvida uma das melhores experiências da viagem.

Reservamos a último momento y fue un acierto total. Nos tocó un guía excelente, con mucha data y buen humor. El maridaje guiado con vinos, cervezas o bebidas tropicales estuvo a la altura. De lo mejor que contratamos por internet.

Vale la pena

Está muy bien, aunque le falta poco para ser excelente. Salió todo en horario, sin sobresaltos. El guía se apoyaba bastante en un guion, pero explicaba bien. El fotos tomadas por nuestros asistentes durante la experiencia estuvo a la altura. El postre fue lo más flojo de la cena. Vale la pena, sabiendo lo anterior.
