5.00Our tour was scheduled over six months ago. Voator and the cheese shop had different times. It all worked out. We just made two trips to the meeting place. The cheese was fantastic and the tour was enjoyable. We bought cheese to take with us.
Delicious, easy, cheap!

5.00It was tasty, easy, delicious and our host was charming. All for a small amount, in a country where everything is expensive. It was great!

1.00In less than six hours of our schedule the vendor delayed the time of the event. While the time change was for an hour for the first event and a second event delayed 30 minutes it still negatively impacted later plans we had so we missed this event. While on a prior walking tour of the town we walked by the shop. The shop was closed and the shop did not look very reputable so we were very disappointed. This venue seems far below the standards of the other Viator tours we have done.
