    My husband and I had such an enjoyable experience on this tour. We went to a local dairy farm and learned how Mozzarella was made. After, we had lunch at the Masseria. Our tour guide was personable, knowledgeable, and spoke very clear English. The tour was unique and felt very authentic. Of course the Mozzarella we tried was absolutely delicious. I definitely recommend using Terra Che Vive as a means to get to know the Puglia region!

  • Great host. Very patient and the tour was nice for us to start our holiday in Puglia. We understood a little more about the region and its historic context. The pasta making and cheese making chefs were very polite and good. The only drawback was that as we were non meat and alcohol drinkers. The substitute items were perhaps not as good. We could've done with some good veggie options at the end to sample.

    we had an amazing experience in our tour with Marco! He is very knowledgeable and we spend the morning seeing how to make cheese, pasta making class and visiting the farm - plus some delicious italian delicacies at the end! Marco was really patient and flexible and our two year old twins loved it as well. Furthermore, the staff at masseria dell'arco were also great. Would certainly recommend, and a very good price for value.

    My family thoroughly enjoyed our private cheesemaking experience with Marco and Terra Che Vive! We loved everything from the tour of the masseria to the hands on cheesemaking class! Umberto's cheese was delicious...we are still dreaming about it!
