4.00Saw a large portion of the island and stopped for four tastings. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and easily understood.
Poorly guided tiny tastes tour.

2.00This tour is boring. The driver talked on and on about himself. The tastings were minuscule. Two drops of vinegar for tasting? Really? The tour did not stop at any of the farm stands that would have been a great opportunity to actually taste something good from the locals. Instead, the driver parked us in the bus and went to a stand and brought us back a couple of strawberries each-because he wanted some for his lunch. RUDE!
Charming and delicious

1.00The tour did not take place as the streets were blocked. The stair marathon took place all day long.
It’s an OK tour

3.00The pick up location had a specific address for it which everyone who booked the tour was at. However the driver was parked on another street. If someone would ‘t have called the tour company from the stop we were at, I’m not sure if anyone would have made the trip. I felt the stops were rushed. This is advertised as an eating tour and it is not that. Peter, our driver was great. He was very knowledgeable and funny. Out of the 4 stops, the nougat stop was a waste of time. The personal touch didn’t exist with us watching a video. Overall, it was an ok tour.
Fun Island tour

5.00We enjoyed our tour of the vinagerie. Two wineries and a nougatery. I learned a good bit at each stop and had good tastings. There was not much time to shop at the stops after the tastings. I’d have liked about 10-15 more minutes, even if the cost was a bit more. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave a fun tour!
Not awesome.

2.00The bus microphone was broken so we didn’t learn anything about the land. The bus driver was… angry? About tourists… despite driving a bus full of tourists. He stopped the bus without announcing anything.. and just assumed everyone knew where to go. The first stop at the nouget factory was disappointing. The “samples” were less than bite sized and they played a short video about the history instead of actually speaking with us. The second stop was a cidery. I’d say generously we were given 1/8 a shot of 4 different ciders. And forced to use the same cup every time so all the drinks mixed together. The third stop at the winery was the most redeeming. An actual flight of good pours of wine, with the owner there to talk about her business and their process. Last stop was at a vinegar distillery. It was incredibly short, but the tasting itself was good. If I would have known what I know now, I would have taken my rental car on this excursion instead.

4.00A little bit of everything - drinks, sweets, condiments, history. This is a tasting tour, not an eating tour.
