The tour was very informative and exciting. Of course, that was mainly thanks to our group leader, who in a good mood shared her knowledge and was able to easily answer every question. I can also recommend the wine tasting - which was accompanied by tasty little things (good, sufficient base of local cheese and topped baguette with for the wine). And if you are physically reasonably fit, you should not miss the ascent of the tower - a unique experience for your sense of balance with a great view

Thank you to our kind guide! This was a fun all inclusive experience. I would definitely recommend it. You can do it all in one go.
