Best foud tour we had in quite a while! It was almost like we "tasted" the roots of the island! Great way to learn about the traditional dishes. Our tour guide was an absolute star! He knew so much about the culture of the locals and he even shared with us some of his family traditions! Don't think twice about this tour, just go
