We enjoyed a farm to table lunch and experienced the locals weaving rugs and toured an olive oil and pottery collective. I told her ahead of time we were not interested in purchasing a rug and they respected our wishes. They showed us several rugs but did not put the hard sell on us.”

He was flexible with the restrictions my mother faced physically, and accommodated us to see things that were easier to traverse. In fact, he was the best tour guide of our entire trip, even better than the guides that were included on our cruise.”
