    A good value for a visit with five stops. Our tour guide Rob did an excellent job of weaving in the history of the NL along with explanations of the challenges of the location. The demo portion of the cheese tasting/wooden shoes felt like it was rushed through, giving the impression that the proprietors just wanted to hustle us through to the sales area. Free bathroom stops were very rare.
