Overpriced
Our hosts, Laura and Luca were really lovely and welcoming. The food was delicious. However, we expected to do some of the cooking which didn’t really happen. Just one glass of wine. Also, very, very overpriced and not good value. Sorry!
Operator response
Dear Abeer,
Thank you for taking the time to provide your valuable feedback.
We truly regret to hear that you felt like the value of this tour didn’t match up to the price you paid. Our experiences are priced a little above average because there is a lot of work behind them, both from our hardworking team and our dedicated network of hosts. You were right to expect the very best, which is why we always go the extra mile to make sure you’re getting what you paid for – not just in terms of the finest Italian food, but also the quality of our local hosts, and high-end hospitality.
Of course, we are currently investigating the matter to ensure we’re meeting Cesarine standards.
We very much hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip in Perugia.
Warm regards,
