The tour was a very enjoyable one. Reasons being that the range of venues we stayed in were very good and the experiences offered gave us a really great understanding of the country and it's people and their culture and history.
One thing we really enjoyed was how it lived up to the 'back roads' label bytaking us to places we wouldn't have found (or thought of!!) by ourselves. Examples being the farm visit to see the wine and olive oil process and tasting (such genuine 'down to earth' people) who shared their history and culture and the sheep cheese visit. That was something different and very interesting.
Our guide was knowledgeable and the tour was well organised. Our bus driver was lovely too.
We saw a lot of the country and gained some idea of places we might return to in future to explore further.
