He took us to a typical restaurant in the area and recommended us what we could try (especially since are vegetarians). He was very flexible even stopping at an olive oil Mill, after hearing our interest, he explained the whole process to us. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting the area, especially if staying in Sevilla, and looking for a day trip!”
