“It was a relaxed and leisurely day trip. Our guide Inge was wonderful and made it a pleasant experience throughout. The day started with a visit to the lower duden waterfalls followed by a visit to the upper duden waterfalls. Beware of the ice-cream vendors outside the lower duden. Then went for a mandatory visit to a jewelry factory - which is part of the itinerary but not a necessary one.

“We all enjoyed this trip with Ince. She was very passionate and informative. Took us to cable car ride, which was amazing (1 hour, 30 mins ride from our sherwood exclusive lara hotel). Then lunch, government- backed jewellery factory, boat trip, old town and then duden waterfalls - all were great experience and enjoyed beautiful scenary. Luckily for us the weather was perfect. I would recommend doing the old town shopping last, as the time flies by. A lot to squeeze in but definitely worth it!”
