“The tour was very informative, we learned some very interesting facts about the history of nougat making and how the heritage has been preserved. Our tour guide Chelsea was very nice and explained everything well. She seemed to have a natural passion for the art and products which came through in her presentation. She answered our questions and was patient in taking us through the samples and their history. Thanks Chelsea!
