“We loved this trip so much. And it would be great to do another one.”
— Laura R.
“I think that the thing I enjoyed most was that I was with a group of likeminded people who had a common interest. I think that the cruise was well paced and that we got to experience some great destinations. I think that the marzipan was great, and I would like to see more excursions like this on a future cruise.”
— Andrew P.
“The whole experience was lovely. Max is an amazing human and was very generous with his time and company. Ruth did a spectacular job putting the whole event together. I'm excited to join in more events like this in the future!”
— Aaron G.
“The best part was getting to know the other tastorians during the tours, in-between times and dinner, and learning about their interests and points of view. We enjoyed the energy of a group of like minded people experiencing new things, and learning about the history, culture, geography and food together.”
