Sonia was an excellent tour leader and was always available for any questions or requirements we had. She was always friendly and outgoing am made the trip very pleasurable.
- Taste of Salento-Authentic Culinary Experience
In April we went on the Taste of Salento Tour. We stayed at Emilio and Clara s olive farm and stayed with them. Each day they provided breakfast and dinner and all was enjoyable. Emilio cooked us some lovely dinners. Each day we went to a different area of Puglia. We also visited a vineyard, mozzarella factory, cake manufacturer and pasta factory. Overall we had a great week and saw and learnt so much. Our guide in Alderobello, Lecce and Brindisi was Carlo and he was very knowledgeable. A great week!
