Ever since then, Strawberry Excursions is the one company I’ll assist free of price excursions in London!
The S’more-E-Oreo positively lifted my spirits. After one sip, of this Oreo gelato and chocolate brownie gelato shake topped with mini marshmallows and chocolate sauce, I’d forgotten all relating to the tour! The flavour isn’t too in-your-face, so it’s good if bubble gum and triple chocolate shakes appear a bit too excessive for you.
