Overpriced and Poorly Ran

Deana_N, Sep 2024
Our excitement quickly disapated as we began this poorly run excursion. It felt more like a way for this tourist trap to encourage buying their trinkets and cheese. It was two hours. We spent at most, 45 minutes making the cheese. The guide was scattered and hurried. He would leave us to go do other activities in the shop and tell us to go walk around. Bizarre. We learned zero about the history, production, etc.

So much fun

Jennifer_M, Aug 2023
So much fun and something unique for me to do with my 14 year old. Guide was very friendly. We got to package our cheese for the flight home where we will finish the process! We also did the shoe painting and had lunch there. Was a good day.
