Great tour and lovely lunch - We did the guided tour of the lemon grove with lunch. The tour was informative and interesting. It lashed around 30 minutes which we found to be just the right amount of time. We were then able to taste some lovely breads with orange and lemon marmalades, different olive oils, honey, cheese, biscuits, limoncello, lemon cream and sponge cake with limoncello, all of which were delicious. The lunch consisted of fresh mozzarella grilled in lemon leaves with grilled vegetables, a beautiful lemon ravioli and dessert of lemon sorbet. All was absolutely delicious and the portion sizes were just right. It’s a beautiful setting amongst the lemon trees, and the staff were all very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Grade A Tour! - What an awesome your! For only roughly $30 USD this was an amazing tour. Short enough that it wasn't exhausting but long enough that we learned so many interesting things including that the limoncello only comes from the rind! Tasting was also great, really enjoyed the lemon marmalade!

Tourist trap The whole thing was incredibly disappointing. - Worst Italian experience, lemons on a deceased tree does not constitute an experience, neither does watching grafting on an ipad.
