Great introduction to the history and cultural relevance of mate. Tasted different “flavors” and learned to brew the perfect mate. Was a good hour and a half sharing mate with new friends.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and energetic. Got to learn about the history, cultural significance, and production of Mate. Also tried several varieties of Mate and sweet treats!
Great fun, and great history lesson for such an affordable price! Christian was great! You can definitely tell that he is passionate about his craft and mate! I highly recommend it!
Good to learn the history, types, and the how-to of Mate Tea. Roberto is a great communicator. Fun to learn.
Had a wonderful time. The hour and a half passed very quickly! Chris was thoroughly engaging and we learned a lot without ever being bored. High recommended!
We had an absolutely wonderful time at this session. We learned so much about how the culture of mate is infused with the Argentinian way of life. I loved hearing about how everyone joins in sipping mate at social gatherings. Chris was so enthusiastic and really imparted so much culture and how to perfect the making of mate from various containers. I would highly recommend this tour.
The best immersive and cultural experience you can live if you want to truly understand the history, traditions and spirit behind each matte.
Great experience! They are passionate about Mate and explain everything. You get to try multiple different kinds, as well as some typical pastries.
Friendly and knowable host made the whole group talk with each other. Lovely experience that made us know what mate is all about
