Art also took us for lunch, to a local food market where we brought some tasty fruit crisps, and we went to a coffee roastery which was fascinating and where the coffee was delicious. Art was so helpful all day. Everything was organised brilliantly, he took loads of photos for us, and we leaned so much from him about anything and everything we spoke about. I'm so glad we booked this tour and would highly recommend…”
