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.

    We had a wonderful olive "workshop" with Rosaria in their Azienda Agricola Savoia. We really enjoyed her explanation and very warm hospitality. There are olive trees from ancient period that touched our heart and soul. Absolutely cool and useful. Everyone should visit this farm.

  • Outstanding experience! Marco is an amazing guide. The Farmhouse tour was incredible and only topped by the multi-course lunch served after the pasta making, cheese making, touring the property, learning the history of the region, and bonding with the farm animals. Great experience and highly recommended.

    Our host was exceptional and very kind, providing us with a variety of local foods to try, along with stories to go with them. The experience itself was very intimate and authentic, as we prepped 3 types of pasta in an old wine cellar and ate our preparations (and then some) on the back patio. We learned a great deal about Italian living and the food was absolutely delicious. The intention is to do this anytime were in the Puglia region!

    We were a three-generational family taking part in the tour/class, and Marco and Umberto did a fabulous job engaging all of us - from toddlers to grandparents. The tour of the farm was fun for the little ones; Marco was very knowledgeable and did a great job translating; Umberto was a skilled cheese maker and teacher; and the wine, cheese and meat tasting made for a perfect ending. We highly recommend this experience.

    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!
