"WINE AND GASTRONOMY IN SEVILLE"  

  

Aug 2013 News - Client Remark Sevilla  

"We took two tours from Sevilla organized by Active Gourmet Holidays with a local tour guide. The tour guide has been in the Sevilla area for around 25 years and his personal relationships with farmers, winery owners, restauranteurs and others led to amazing, up-close-and-personal experiences with local people and sites that could never be had on your own."
