“Really fun tour! We had a group of 5 and we stopped along the way at viewpoints and a small church (unfortunately the museum part was closed as it was a Sunday). Easy ride in terms of fitness level required but it was a lot more dangerous than I expected with one of the girls falling off her bike twice. A lot of steep downhills with rocks/uneven ground, would recommend being a confident cyclist. We tried 2 olive oils, picked a fresh fig from the tree and tried one glass of wine. I did think we’d tour the olive farm and learn about the process/farming a bit more though.”
