“We were extremely pleased with every aspect of the tour. Sam was delightful. He shared so much information and clearly knew his history. He was very proud of his city and shared many insights that only a local would know. Since the funicular had a very long lineup, we decided to walk up. Sam said that he would find an alternative if we couldn’t manage the trip. It was a little difficult for us but Sam took his time and we stopped a few times on the way. He was the perfect tour guide with a great sense of humour and very considerate of everyone in our group.”

“We opted for the cheese and alcohol tasting and funicular ride tour. From our pick-up by our guide Olaf, to our drop-off point, the day was of the highest quality. Whilst we were on a stop off we encounter a procession, which when we asked was Corpus Christi day. That was lovely as was our viewing the wooden houses. The next stop off was the tasting session.
