Everything was tasty and fresh although personally I didn't like the chocolate marshmallow and perhaps an option of something else could have been offered Our guide was enthusiastic and very personable with equally good knowledge of food and local culture. She was also very humorous. I would highly recommend doing the trip on your first day as it certainly helps planning for the remainder of your stay”
