OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • 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.

  • Ho trovato l'esperienza della visita in masseria con la preparazione dei prodotti caseari tipici molto coinvolgente. Una nota di elogio va alla guida Marco così come ad Umberto, che con pazienza e simpatia ci hanno mostrato dettagliatamente tutte le fasi della produzione casearia. Ottima la successiva degustazione dei salumi e latticini.

    We booked two of Marco's tours, one being an olive oil tour and the other an organic wine tasting. The hosts of each tour were very welcoming, knowledgable and went above and beyond to accommodate us, including bringing our young infant daughter along to the tours. We liked the option for a private tour, we felt really immersed in the experiences, and learned a lot. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Puglia. Marco was also very professional and very fast to respond to emails and communicating with him and the guides was very straightforward and easy. Thanks Marco!

    We had an amazing time. A great opportunity to have an authentic experience and meet some wonderful people. Marco was so kind and made such an effort to ensure we had fun and learned all about the ingredients we used and the process of making pasta. This was something I’ll remember forever! Highly recommend.

    Esperienza unica! Abbiamo fatto il tour caseario presso l'antica masseria Madonna dell'Arco. Marco è stato un'ottima guida, cortese e preparato, qualità rare ai giorni nostri. Eccellente anche la degustazione dei prodotti tipici sui quali ovviamente non avevo dubbi. Sicuramente mi rivolgerò a loro per altri tour Esperienza che vivamente consiglio di fare.

    Absolutely brilliant food experience! From start to finish, the orecchiette pasta making course was our favourite holiday activity. Anna and Francesca were wonderful hosts and teachers, alongside Marco who was a brilliant translator and helped make the experience so easy! It was extremely in depth, we learned at least 8 different types of orecchiette. As it was just us, it felt like we could ask every question that popped into our heads! To top it off, Marco and Anna arranged for us to have our lunch in our own Trulli onsite! We were given a fabulous meal of breads, charcuterie and of course, the pasta we’d just prepared- topped off with vino, gorgeous traditional Puglian desserts and Anna’s homemade liqueurs. This was without doubt the best course we’ve ever done in Italy. We will be booking again with Marco and Terra Che Vive on our next trip. Worth every penny.
