Exceeded our expectations!

Published on Nov, 2024

The whole day was great and our drivers were so personable and knowledgeable. We were excited to learn about olive oil and it did not disappoint. All our questions were answered and we bought. (I hope they get reliable internet soon so they can more than cash!) Our wine tour exceeded our expectations. We got the owner as our guide in an intimate tasting. It was so enjoyable and she taught us so much. We were so spoiled with the traditional lunch and had so much wonderful food. Our day exceeded our expectations and would highly recommend.!

Perfect for a day trip
