Great tour, learnt a lot about olive oil (including how to tell the good stuff from the bad, health benefits + how to farm the olive trees), plus the tastings were super interesting and delicious. They also had a good COVID protection system in place so felt safe throughout the tour. On top of this the host gave us some great tips for restaurants around the local area. Great tour all up - thanks!

A cut above many in Italy. Tells a great story, beautifully laid out, very well written descriptions of the wonderful treasures in both Italian and first class English. Well worth a visit. Currently online timed booking only though they also sold tickets at the desk as not busy.
