“Iain was the perfect host. The company communicated well, Iain was early and easy to find and corralled all the guests and once we are all arrived, off we went. Iain provided a wealth of knowledge and personal insight about the places we went, the things we did and kept us on time for the duration of the adventure. We covered all three Christmas markets in Munich and did so at a comfortable walking pace. The food and drinks were great and Iain provided addition tastings based on our interest.
