“Super! Kevin jest świetnym przewodnikiem. Oprowadził nas po Salento opowiadając historię miasta, regionu i kraju. Potem pojechaliśmy na finkę Luger i zapoznaliśmy się z procesem zbioru, suszenia i wypalania kawy. Oczywiście na początek filiżaneczka świetnej kawy! Mogliśmy nawet mieć udział w przygotowaniu palenia kawy! Marlon, który był naszym gospodarzem na fince, to człowiek o dużej wiedzy i umiejętności jej przekazania. I ze świetnym poczuciem humoru 😄! W międzyczasie właściciel przygotował nam miejscową przekąskę. A na koniec mogliśmy się napić kawy, w której wypalaniu braliśmy udział. Rewelacyjne doświadczenia. A dla miłośników kawy wręcz obowiązkowe!”

She gave us a great overview of the history of the region and was a delight to be around. She took great photos, too! I'd recommend doing this tour on a weekday like we did as the locations weren't overly crowded. Our driver Carlos got us where we needed to go safely and on-time.
