This was one of my most disappointing travel experiences. We tasted somewhat traditional Slovak food to start off the brunch tour, which was followed up with cheese and pastries at a supermarket (!) and we ended with some pancakes. The brunch tour holds no value for money - charging 70 Euro for a tour, where the total value of the food is less than 30 Euro is obscene. Furthermore, I was ensured that the tour would be pescaterian-friendly. When non-pescaterian products were offered (eg. pork buns), no equal substitute was made. I have been on food tours in cities such as Rio, New York, Prague, Porto to name a few, so I have a reference point for what is good and what is poor. A tour should include a variety of local foods, visits to local markets for fresh produce, and/or expose participants to "hidden gems" that they would not necessarily find on theit own. This experience included none of the above and was significantly below average.
