“Auf der Buchungsseite wird mehr Angeboten als es in der Realität dann aussieht, den Wein aus Österreich durfte man bezahlen, sollte vielleicht auch vermerkt werden dass Getränke nicht inklusive sind, wir hatten keine Spanische Spezialitäten, unangenehm war die regelrechte Aufforderung bei bestimmten Ständen "Einzukaufen" und das meiste wissen rund um den Naschmarkt wusste nicht ihr Giude, sondern ein Ehepaar die auch die Tour mitmachten. Von ihrem Guide weiß ich wo er überall in Urlaub war uä. Für das habe ich aber nicht bezahlt. Zudem fand ich es unhygienisch am Stand von Nüssen/ Trockenfrüchte dass der Inhaber alles mit der Hand angefasst hat. Fazit für 4 versch. Probier Schmankerl sind 69...”
