Definitely worth a visit - Johnny and David made our experience so memorable. I didn't have many expectations, but they made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. David was great about explaining things without being too overwhelming. His English skills were excellent, as well. Lastly, the lunch we had was by far our best meal yet on this trip.
