Tourist Joanna Szymbor says she was fleeced for nearly £30 for four of the cornets. She said: "I feel ripped off. It was £28 for four ice creams.
"There were no prices displayed – I normally ask for a price but it was hot and we’d been sightseeing for eight hours.
"I paid thinking I heard it wrong. I’d already handed the ice cream to the kids so I didn’t want to be embarrassed."
Another customer said: "The days where you’d get change from a pound for a 99 are long gone, but £7 has got to be the most expensive one ever.
