    Hi Noelene, Thank you for your second review. I'm happy to hear from you again, and to answer you regarding the points highlighted in this new comment. Do we have to wait a third review ? First of all, I'm sorry that the tour didn't live up to your expectations. Regarding the tour costs, the tour includes private arrival and departure transfers, with the airport about 100 km from the farmhouse, 6 nights' accommodations with breakfast and dinners included—with carefully curated menus featuring dishes based on fresh products (these are not set menus for groups), drinks, daily private tours with guides, and locals always available to assist customers with any needs. It's easy to understand that all of this comes at a cost; I'm sorry you didn't appreciate its added value. Regarding the number of participants, unless requested by customers, we are not required to provide information regarding the number of people booked, as the tour is always guaranteed even with only one participant, as per the dates you traveled. For some customers, being alone can be a problem; for others, like the customer who visited and wrote a review in October it wasn't, that is just a subjective matter. Of course, if we're asked, as often happens, how many people are booked for a specific date, we have no problem answering, as we always did. And if being the solo traveler is a particular problem, it would had not be a problem for us to cancel the booking. In conclusion, this tour is very unique; it offers a local experience, the opportunity to discover a less known region of Apulia with local people , but may not be suitable for every type of customer. Thanks Regards, Omar
