Disappointing “Belgrade Food Walking Tour”
Purchased optional tour “Belgrade Food Walking Tour” Experience with the Belgrade Food Walking Tour have fallen short of my expectations * Unimpressive food offerings: The street unwashed berries (strawberries, blueberries and raspberries are no surprise and fruit market is full of flies and bees.). I would not eat unwashed berries which bears most micro bacteria). The tour guide then brought us to a restaurant for big heavy meats (pork, chicken and turkey) lunch which offered the same food we had in the previous night dinner. Lack of variety in the restaurant meals were disappointing, especially considering the price US$65. In addition, we were not offered any drinks for the lunch. All of us had to drink water period. Never heard of without drinks offered. It is not worth of that much. * Misleading description: The tour description promised "deserts" (plural), but we only received one type of walnut cookie. Someone is banking on us (travellers). * Limited vegetarian options: The lack of vegetarian alternatives for the vegetarian couple was a significant oversight. * Final stop at wine store and taste 3 types of wine is ok. I will NOT RECOMMEND to purchase this optional tour and Gate 1 should dismiss this tour unless Gate 1 Travel considers the following changes. * Re-evaluate the tour description: Ensure that the description accurately reflects the experience, including specific food offerings. * Consider a more diverse food selection: Explore options for a wider variety of foods, including street food, local specialties, and vegetarian options. * Partner with more suitable restaurants: Collaborate with restaurants that offer a broader range of dishes and can accommodate dietary restrictions. * Offer a more comprehensive food experience: Include stops at multiple vendors or restaurants to provide a more varied and immersive experience. For example, select a vendor famous for appetizers or soups, a vendor’s specialty dishes and select a cafe which offer nice and unique deserts and ice creams. This will be a truly food tasting walking tour.
