How does it work?
Groups of ten or more are welcomed. Please, call ahead of time to make reservations. The tour and the lunch are $ 15.00 per person. We ask you to call again a day or two before the actual trip date to confirm the final head count. This way we will know how many lunches to prepare.
The day of the tour
On the day of the tour, plan to get to Bellville and arrive at Newman’s Bakery around 10:30. Newman’s Bakery is located in the heart of Bellville, close to the historical square. A guide will join you to escort you out to the castle, approximately five miles out in the country. The tour and lunch will last about 1 ½ to 2 hours.
After visiting the Castle
After visiting the castle, you can come back into Bellville where there are many other things to see and to do. Below I have included a few phone numbers to call for additional information. After your tour around town, allow me to suggest that you stop back by my bakery, Newman’s Bakery, for a final rest stop. Let me also add that we have quite a few good sweets to indulge in and take home.
Thanks,
Mike Newman
