“We had such a great day with José. This trip involves a lot of driving but also a lot of stops so you don't feel like you have to rush. Jose was very nice and had a lot of knowledge to share with us about the area. Both villages were very quaint and lovely and I definitely recommend leaving room in your luggage for all the pottery you will buy in Raquira. Everything was so affordable. The ceramic house was so interesting! The lunch stop was great and we had lots of food. I definitely recommend this tour! Thanks so much to José!!”

“The guide, Nico, was friendly and had an in depth general knowledge, but lacked specific background on the two towns we visited. On previous wine tasting tours in other countries and by other operators we alway visited at least 3 wineries. This tour only visited one winery, quite small with only 13 hectares under cultivation. Their output was small as a consequence.”
