“Our guide Fabian was very sweet and did a good job explaining the food and drink but also answering our questions. It helped that we were a small group of 5 so we didn’t feel like a “tourist group.” They accommodated my pescatarian diet and another persons red wine aversion. It was relaxed and chill. Well worth the price!”
