Timing Note:
This tour s unique features include 1/2 walking tour & 1/2 mini-bus tour. And since we re at the will of the country roads (and sometimes traffic) as well as our own desire to do a little shopping at farmers markets and country stores, we want to make sure you leave plenty of time at the end of the day and don t book any other events too close to our end-time, just in case we experience a half-hour delay beyond our end-time. Be prepared for a delicious and filling day!
