The energy and friendliness of the guides was amazing! It was fun, beautiful and wonderful to see the olive trees and enjoy the smell of the orange trees! Visiting the olive oil processor was very informative, seeing the Monastery was interesting and learning of the flooded village and seeing a dam was unexpected. The location of our meal was beautiful and the food was delicious! I would warn participants to not wear their best clothes because you will be quite dusty at the end of the tour. However it was well worth the dust! So glad we did this tour, one of my favorites we did!
