He showed me the sangria. He showed me just topless that he was just putting it together. He’s explaining to me what top means, which I completely did not understand. Everything was so delicious, and then we started on the pasta. It was incredible just the way Luca taught the layering of spices and went to add salt and wanted to not add any more salt.

This tour easily was the highlight of our trip. The food we ate in every restaurant was fantastic, fresh, and authentic. The format of the tour was great. But the two reasons why I am writing this review is for the group we shared the experience with and our guide Juan Felipe. Our group was small, around 10. My wife and I are from the US, and we were joined by a great group…”

There must be a pretty high profit margin on this tour! The 4 stars are mainly for our lively tour guide”

Alora was very cool - I didn’t expect to see so much of it - didn’t feel rushed at any point. Caminito del Ray was spectacular. My husband and I are in mid-level shape and felt comfortable all day (6.3 km including 42 flights of stairs according to my watch).
