Wonderful Day in Monopoli!! - A wonderful day spent exploring the Monopoli countryside under a canopy of olive tree groves. Antonella, our guide, is fantastic! Learned so much from her about every aspect of olive oil production. She is so passionate and extremely knowledgeable about the land and its history. Highly recommend - a day not to be missed!

A great day out! - A lovely bike ride around the Monopoli countryside! Our group of 8 visited 3 farms and Antonella, our guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly. Bikes were in good condition and the ride was easy and comfortable. The olive oil tasting at the shop afterwards was very interesting! We tasted 6 olive oils, 2 wines, and lots of different jams/preserves. Would highly recommend joining this tour

Olive oil will never be the same from now on - Super fun way to explore the area and hear more about what is involved in producing olive oil and then taste the differences, really fantastic! Olive oil will never be the same again! Antonella gave a beautiful personal story, with a lot of knowledge of Puglian history! Recommended!

Fun countryside bike tour - Fun ride with a great group. Highlights of the tour were biking through the countryside, learning some history as well as how olive oil is made, and the tasty food/wine/olive oil at the end. Note there are a couple light snacks throughout the ride, but I'd suggest a full breakfast prior to the ride or bring a power bar to stay fueled.
