“This was an absolutely brilliant excursion. Our guide Tania was very informative and always on hand to answer questions. I like her sassy attitude and while very kind and considerate she doesn't put up with any nonsense either. When managing a group of people this is super important. Our driver handled the mountain roads and 900M climb like a boss. He turned corners, tight squeezes and hairpin bends in such large transportation that I would fear in a car. I enjoyed every single aspect of the tour. There is a service happening in the monastery but it is permissible to quietly enter the back of the church to say a…”

The car was very clean and comfortable for the journey. We loved the goats particularly and the olive oil tasting taught about the process of making olive oil and what to look out for in good oil (I hope that we have enough space in our suitcase).
