This tour was purchased for me and my girlfriend as a present. We had some initial scheduling mishaps, but once we got there the experience was excellent. Gina was enjoyable to hang out with, and adapted well to the reduced time. The chocolate and cheese was the best I've had here, and we got thorough explanations, which is important to me (why is this called this, why do they do this, what is this flavor etc)
