Guest Testimonials

We all book for the operas and we are spoilt for choice of operas/ cities to which we travel/ the seats which are organized for us. HAT TOURS claim to fame are their Opera Tours (and I am very thankful for that) ... but the surprise for us every time is the wonderful dinners to which we are treated. YET ... I have not read one review about their wonderful degustation dinners. These are researched with a lot of care. Not any restaurant will do/not any menu will do. We are taken to some of the best restaurants in Europe. Quietly researched by this indefatigable duo/ visited/ tested - before er even cross the portals ... Our last tour was Leipzig / Dresden / Berlin on one evening in each of those cities we were taken on a surprise walk to a wonderful restaurant and made to feel very special. I am an Opera Fan but if I do too many of your trip I may well become a "foodie and wine fan."
