Traveler Reviews

We had a great time getting out of the city to learn about the making of olive oil. Great gift shop @ Opio! Brett picked us up in Nice, was fun, knowledgable and very accommodating!! **Only samples included so do eat before you go.

Both of our guides did a tremendous job. Thank you for the great experience

We had a lovely tour with a great driver who allowed us plenty of time to see all that we wanted but sadly the Olive oil tasting was marred by the fact that the factory was closed and we had to have a tasting in the shop only. However, the company have promised a 20% discount by way of apology and the rest of the tour was very interesting including an unscheduled stop off in a chocolate factory which was right up our street!
