Juani and Ale are amazing, and so inviting. I typically don’t like walking tours, but this was so personalized and interesting, and we had a lot of say in what we wanted to do. The stops along the way were great (who doesn’t like taste testing while they walk around?!) and the actual workshop was a wonderful experience. Couldn’t recommend more.
