Summary: I can’t recommend this tour enough. What started as a time filler for me, became a fascination as we learned about a very unique fruit. It was so interesting from beginning to end, with some fun experiences along the way, like going up in the avocado picker, not to mention tasting the most delicious ice-cream and gelato! The hosts were so lovely, caring and informative! I will be going again and taking along friends next time!
