The guide I met with was lovely, he seemed genuinely interested in what my friend and I had to say and he was very sweet and kind. We ended up with a private taxi to this event because we were the only ones who had booked the morning slot. The view on the taxi was lovely and the glass blowing demonstration was fascinating. We met up with some other small groups for the workshop, and they were all lovely. I had a great time and would recommend to anyone of any age.
