I have never felt to ripped off in my entire 80 years of life!
My sweet daughter bought this for me to celebrate my 80th birthday. We did the tour on May 6th, 2023.
Our tour guide Alex showed up looking like he was headed for the beach for the day and was rather bland as a tour guide.
I expected to visit a few restaurants in the area have maybe soup at one, next maybe a salad, followed by a taste of an entre at a couple ending with a dessert sample.
What we got was a small spicy slice of pizza which our group of 6 finished with in no time and Alex remarked we would sit here a few as our next stop wasn't for another 15 minutes. Then we were led to a seafood market where we were told to wait outside while Alex went in for the special of the day and proceeded to lead us to a brewery where we were given a tiny sample of salmon dip which was delicious, however hating beer and the smell of it was very distasteful,
Next came a stop at a popcorn store (food tour???) where we received a tiny cup of 3 or 4 pieces of popcorn and a sip of cider with not even a place to sit down, and were told we could get as many samples as we wanted. Finally a restaurant where we received 4 very small thickly breaded shrimp, things were looking up! Oops no my mistake we went to a tea and spice shop where we could sniff as many teas or spices we wanted but no food or drink!!! THIS IS A FOOD TOUR? Lastly went to a coffee shop which had terrible coffee and a dark chocolate mousse.
Along the way we got some sketchy Dunedin history.
My beloved daughter spent over $200 with tip for this unbelievably horrible experience where after a food tour we went looking for a nice restaurant to eat, but not in Dunedin as we were ready to get away from the town after this extremely disappointing experience.
