  • We had a wonderful visit to Savoia. Our tour guide Anarita was energetic, knowledgeable, and very warm. Be prepared to be shocked and amazed at the glimpse of antiquity you will experience on this tour. When you realize that many of the olive trees are from the Roman Empire and earlier, the enormity of your experience begins to come into focus. Rosario the owner couldn’t have been more welcoming or embracing. The oil is magnificent and her love of the area and its history are so warmly exuded that you feel it as well as taste it. Take the tour and ship home as much as finances allow, you won’t be disappointed!

    Great experience. I asked if we can tailor a class for my toddler and they did a great job. I highly recommend the cooking class with Gaetano. I couldn't give Gaetano enough praises for how fun and enjoyable he made the experience.

    Perfect to plan a guided tour of Puglia. Signing up for one or more ‘tours’ is very easy to do. The administrator, Marco, a local, is very active and sends you all the information you need. We tried out the Bike Olive Oil Tour. A unique experience! We had Anna as our guide. She's incredible, passionate and bubbly! It's a really great bike tour with a small group! However, don't forget to take closed shoes, and make sure they're in the car!!!!! Reiti & Hiro
