“Die Tour war interessant und mit Humor gestaltet. Die Zwischenstationen zum Bier trinken und essen waren an sich sehr schön und nett, um einen Eindruck zu bekommen, wo man vielleicht mal einkehren möchte. Etwas unglücklich war hier jedoch das Zeitmanagement. So musste man das Bier meist gefühlt "runterstürzen" und hatte teilweise nur wenige Minuten in den Locations, der Weg dahin musste auch sehr zügig bestritten werden. Ich denke es wäre sinnvoller, insbesondere wenn man nur 6 Teilnehmende hat, zu erzählen, während man gemütlich weiterläuft. So müsste man nicht so hetzen und hätte mehr Zeit in den Locations.”
