Summi did an excellent job with the tour. She is very friendly, easy to talk to, and gives the information in an easy and relaxed manner. She is very knowledgeable, and we had fun moments on the tour. Our group was friendly and interesting.

Amazing hotel, informative tour, our guide had many interesting stories about the place. Food was superb, sample sizes were just enough and the wine pairings were excellent. A very sophisticated experience, a nice change from hiking and biking.
