“What an awesome experience. Our guide Jerome was knowledgeable and answered all the various questions the group had. He made us all feel comfortable and after the 2 hours we all felt a group of friends enjoying an excursion together. The snacks especially the sausage was great! Last but not the least, our venue was a surprise, deep underground an exquisite space to experience the evening. Thank you Jerome, my husband and I had a lovely evening discovering German wines and your love for Mainz region.”
