We had such fun. Gorka was our guide and he was very personable, communicative and engaging. The tour was perfect size - two couples, Gorka and the chef. The experience was just hands on enough, great food and wine. Highly recommended.

They were a no-show. My daughter and I were at the spot stated in the instructions 15 minutes beforehand and stayed 10 minutes after the event time. No emails or call. Big disappointment
