It was great to get out of the city and see the olive groves (there are so many of them in the region it's amazing), to visit the mill which really gave an insight into the historical processes behind producing olive oil and of course to taste the various olive oils. It was fun, informative and genuinely educational as well.... More

We were picked up at the statue on time. They drove us 25 minutes to the olive orchard. There we met our guide who explained a little about the irrigation system, the different types of olives and olive trees, we got to try a raw olive, and learned about the gathering of olives. Then we went to the town of... More

We booked a 6hr tour to visit an olive grove and a 15th century gem of an olive mill in a white village. We discover traditions, a bautiful village set on the background of snowy peaks, we learned about olive varieties and... the grand finale was olive oil tasting + wine tasting. An incredible experience. The tour offered lunch in... More

My wife and I took the tour a few weeks back and had a great time. Soooo informational - the mill they took us to was fantastic - like going back in time. The guide (Beatrice) was awesome and the lady (sorry I can't remember her name) who poured us the wine (additional charge but worth it) was also very... More

My 17 yr old daughter and I took the morning tour from about 10-1:30. I consider myself a foodie and this experience was wonderful on so many levels...the history, the small town, the tour guide Beatrice, the tastings, etc. We loved the experience. More

This is a "must see"! Pablo picks you up at your hotel and delivers you safely to the farm. Beatrice gives a wonderful tour full of interesting facts and history. Who knew that olive oil tasting could be so much fun! You come away feeling like an expert on the subject of olive oil history, cooperative production, uses, and tastes.... More

We were fortunate enough to book this tour during our stay in Granada last week and it was one of the highlights of our stay in Spain. The very efficient Pablo was our driver to the little town outside of Granada. When we arrived in the town, we were greeted by Violetta, who was amazing. She told us of the... More

This is an extremely enjoyable experience and a nice getaway from the city. The tour takes place in the Olive groves and oil mill museum in the small town of Niguelas about 20 minutes south of Granada. The pick up and drop off was superb and the drive is very pleasant. Violeta, our guide was superb speaking both English and... More
