Fun morning - Barbara was a very fun guide and was very knowledgeable about the products. Fun morning for everyone

Great short tour - Barbara was charming and a great host. We really enjoyed her tour. It gave us a different insight and a fun activity which made a change from the usual city break schedule

Interesting, engaging and delicious - Barbara was very knowledgeable and engaging. We learnt a lot about olive oil and the tastings were amazing.

Excellent way to spend a morning in Cordoba - We spent a wonderful morning with Barbara learning about olives and the olive oil process, and tasting the varieties her family makes. Barbara was very personable and knowledgeable, and provided great local perspective.

Fun activity in Cordoba with a local - Barbara was a great tour guide. This is her family's business so after we toured the market we went to their tasting room. I wouldn't call it breakfast. It was lots of olive oil tastings with bread. But no other food. Olive oil was delicious! Guide was friendly and knowledgeable. She worked hard to make sure we had a fun visit. We enjoyed learning about her family and life in Cordoba. A true local!

Not a full breakfast - Let me start off by saying our Hostess Barbara was amazing. She is kind, sweet, and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the title of this tour is very misleading. I specifically asked if we would be having breakfast and was told yes so I didn’t have a proper breakfast which is needed for my specific dietary needs and needing to take morning meds. I went with my 19 yo daughter. The breakfast consisted of a small freshly bake baguette (which was absolutely delicious) to try with the olive oils and a few olives. The olive oils were all really good. The tour consisted of a visit to an open air market and then to the bakery where we got the rolls. Our tasting space was a basement area. Not super glamorous or really nice. Needed to be dusted and updated a bit. A good bit of history to be learned. Recommend either bringing food to eat with tasting or eating beforehand.

Underwhelming - It was a little bit under expectations for a couple of reasons: 1- the guide Barbara was late to come to the meeting point and she seemed quite young. I was envisioning a much older and wiser person acting as a guide. 2. Since I was the only person who showed up, I was taken into the basement-like tasting room alone, so it was a little bit awkward. 3. The market was shut because it was Labour day so we didn’t get to do that. 4. There were no pretty flowers in test tubes like the thumbnail photo, nor a proper breakfast. There’s just the bread you use to taste the olive oil with and you’re offered coffee with no non-dairy milks available (even though I asked them beforehand if there’d be vegan options). 5. The bread used for tasting was very artificial and crappy in quality. There were so many additives it could survive a year without going mouldy. When beautiful natural bread was available literally around the corner for a couple of cents, why they bought this horrible bread I’ll never know. 6. Finally, after tasting beautiful olive oils and selecting one to purchase, they didn’t have enough change for me to pay in cash :(

Meh - Similar to other reviews, go to olive oil store for more in-depth learning and tasting. Market closed and dry bread took away from tasting

Disappointing, not really breakfast - There are several different olive oil tasting experiences in Cordoba, and I picked this one because the market tour and breakfast sounded like a bonus on top of the tasting. Unfortunately, it was not really up to my expectations. The market is very small compared to markets I’ve been to in other cities/countries, and there is not much to see. Only a handful of stalls were open, but even if every stall had been occupied, it would still have been a tiny market. Not much to tour. Our guide provided some local commentary as we walked through the streets to her tasting room, including a brief stop at a bakery where she bought a few rolls, which was interesting. Like the market, the tasting itself was disappointing. When we arrived at the tasting room, she explained that we were going to have a field worker’s breakfast, which meant Nescafé (instant coffee), and that the breakfast itself was going to consist of sopping up olive oil with the rolls purchased during the walk. She talked a bit about the olive oil production process, and then poured a small amount of oil onto our plates with instructions to sop it up with the bread. Personally, I’m a big fan of olive oil with bread. We eat bread and olive oil like this all the time at home. However, the bread interferes with your ability to fully taste the oil, beyond the strongest notes (peppery, etc.). So it wasn’t really an olive oil *tasting*. The breakfast was just a few tablespoons of olive oil and a single roll, plus some green table olives and a swallow of sherry at the very end. When tasted plain, the oils were nothing special, as well. At the end, we were still hungry because we didn’t eat *beforehand* because we expected something more substantial. The tour was very inexpensive so I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised that the breakfast was so sparse. Later that afternoon, we walked past a olive oil specialty store elsewhere in Cordoba that offered a tasting and we decided do that to make up for the disappointment. I won’t name it here but it turned out to be excellent. If you are really interested in olive oil, skip this tour and breakfast, and do a store tasting instead.

Terrible and disastrous communication. - Only 15 minutes after the agreed time for the start of the activity, they contacted me to tell me that the activity could not be carried out due to a problem that arose.
