After immersing ourselves in the festive cheer of the Christmas market at the Bazilika around 3pm, we found the perfect follow-up activity. Our morning was already magical with a wonderful show that concluded around 1pm, setting the stage for what came next. Ahmed, our guide, was nothing short of amazing. His patience and attentiveness with the kids made the experience even more special.

This experience was a delightful blend of fun and flavour, and I wholeheartedly recommend…”
