Very good tour, fully recommended. We liked how we were explained about wine production in the 2 wineries we visited and the tasting of different types of wines and olive oils was great.
The experience was good. We met 2 wineries and 1 olivicola. The guide, Cecilia, explained some interesting things during the journey. The bus was very nice and well maintained. Personally I didn’t know anything about wine or olives, so I wasn’t even a beginner in the subject, but I learned many new things. It was easy for me to schedule the reservation, fortunately I had no problems.
Great experience. I learned a lot about wines and olives. The guide was very kind and fun.
This is an excellent half day tour! Both the guide and driver were consulate professionals. They ran the tour for only three people.
Thanks for your comments.
