After this tour, we went back to one of the restaurants for more amazing food and it was even better. Marcos was our host on Saturday (our first full day) and he was so friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel right at home. He was happy to answer any questions we had and made this tour top -notch. He also asked us questions towards the end of the tour to customize things we wanted to try. We’ve never done a food tour at any of the places…”

Be aware some places are closed on Monday, which was the day we went so the path may get modified. Ours was and I think it might have been even more interesting because of it. We explored a bed and breakfast that was amazing with the house and its gardens. And it served brunch so we are going back this weekend for brunch there. The walk was about 2 miles for us, which was pretty…”
