when you're all 'alhambra-ed' out - which we were after the looong alhambra tour, museums and cathedrals... the olive oil tour is a refreshing change! we loved it! The ride was pleasant, going into the countryside was lovely. we now know so much more about olive oils and appreciate the love and dedication in every bottle. Violetta was a wealth... More

We found ourselves with a spare day in Granada and wanted to see something that was distinctly Andalucian but where we didn't have to walk for an entire day (which we had been doing previous to this with amazing visits to the Alhambra, Albaicyn and Sacramonte). So it was nice to be taken on a tour in a small mini... More

Dear Customer, Thank you very much for taking the time to talk about your recent experience on our OliveOilTour. We are very glad to know that you have enjoyed it! As a result of your comments on the salad at the restaurant we have subsequently tried the dish with both balsamic vinegar and the sherry vinegar spray. So in future... More

We, a family with 2 girls ages 10 and 11 were in Granada for 2.5 days in November and in addition to booking the obvious (tour of Alhambra, walking tour of the Albacin) I booked the half day Olive Oil tour with added wine tasting for my husband and myself. My daughters were reluctant to go but knew they had... More

The Olive Oil Tour was definitely one of the highlights of our visit to Spain. Violetta was our guide and did a fantastic job explaining to us the history and vital importance of the olive oil industry to southern Spain. We opted for the wine-tasting add-on and the lunch add-on. Both were exceptional. For 15 euros more, we had our... More

After reading the rave reviews decided to book this as it appealed to the idea of seeing something fun and different. We loved every minute of it! We had done a great of walking in Granada and this was nice to just sit and relax while taking in some spectacular views! The educational aspect was a bonus and we learned... More

We did the full day tour and it was only us and another couple. It was nice to have such a small group - lots of personal attention. It was very interesting to see how the olive oil was made in the past at the mill and it was also really interesting to see the olive trees in the groves... More

This is a great half day side trip away from the regular museum/ruins type of visit. A refreshing change. The material presented was extremely interesting to me since this was my first time in Spain and, although I often cook with olive oil, I knew nothing of its production. This isn't just your ordinary field trip away from the city.... More

The tour driver was Pablo-very nice young man! The tour guide was amazing. We had Americans, French Canadians and Columbians. The tour guide spoke perfect English, French and Spanish. Wow! Got to see an old mill in a small village, very cool. The tasting was of 5 oils. All very different and neat to try different ones. The wine tasting... More

We decided to book this tour after reading the reviews, and it was a great relaxing and delicious day! We prefer to avoid group tours that are too tourist-oriented, but this one is not at all, it was a great way to learn about the olive oil making process, taste the difference between types of oils, and purchase the best...

My husband and I stayed in Granada near the Alhambra, which has a thriving college town ambience. The olive oil tour provided a wonderful opportunity to be chauffered to South Granada, which is a tiny, quaint, whitewashed village, one of the highlights of my trip. I wish the tour of the olive grove itself was longer and more involved, but... More
