“Ines was a wonderful guide and knew which lavender and sunflower fields to go to for vibrant colors and away from the crowds. We stopped at a small lavender and olive farm for a tasting and time to buy a few items which was interesting and fun. Lunch in a medieval town then a drink overlooking the lake was a nice finish to the day. Definitely recommend this tour.”
