The Markets were canceled that day, but we did make it to Italy and had a fabulous lunch and then some small village walking tours. The other couple with us had never been to Monaco, so we traveled there and they were able to see the casino in Monte Carlo and part of the country of Monaco. We didn't get to the markets, but had a great time anyway.”

The Swiss chard cake was surprisingly delicious. We walked around the market and ate Socca and a caramelized onion tart. There were only 6 of us which made it more fun to chat with the others. I would recommend this food tour.”

Navigating the busy Christmas market traffic, he got us to the ‘front door’ each time and was ready to take us to the next destination every time. A special mention - at the spur of the moment, he even organised a restaurant reservation for the whole group to dine together, which was lovely. Highly recommended.”
