The olive oil tour was led by the daughter of the owner and was done as quickly as possible and without much enthusiasm for giving a tour. We felt as though we had interrupted her day. The honey tour was brief but very well done. Great tasting after the tour and really kinda cool. Our guide for the day was not very talkative. Not much information was offered and what was was because we asked. He was kind but just not much of a tour guide. I can't recommend…”
