- ARebecca· September 25th, 2023The lunches with the local families were really good, they were all really friendly and there wasn't any awkwardness or pressure to buy things which there can sometimes be with activities like these. The felt making was really fun although maybe with a small group everyone could have the chance to make their own small piece rather than 1 large piece. I really like the weird hotel in Sno.Show moreTrip date: September 2023Review collected by Explore!
