Excellent way to get to know the area! Marco spoke very good English and knew the area well. The cheese farm was totally organic with a very friendly owner. We tasted some of the best provolone ever! Making personal pizzas for lunch at the home of Lucia was very fun, with delicious fresh ingredients. Finally, they arranged a personal walk through of a small lemon grove right near town, and of course with tastes of yummy limoncello..Highly recommend this tour!
