From pick-up to drop-off, Liz displayed friendliness, courtesy, helpfulness and a distinct passion for local producers. I was amazed the distances she travelled in order to pick up passengers and take them on a tour. There was no hurry, her driving was safe and courteous, and she was very friendly with all passengers. I was impressed by the tours she had on offer and plan to travel with her and Tasty Tours again as there are so many great tours she offers.
