Great day out

5.00I had such a great day out and I appreciate this company’s flexibility in making the day happen for me. The stops are great - the guessing game at Schoc chocolates is a highlight and Poppies’ cheese platter was outrageously good. As are the wines, and I happily bought a glass to go with my cheese platter. The commentary is amusing and thoughtful. Was nice to get out of the city for the day and visit some smaller towns. I really rated this day tour. Thanks!

1.00We were disappointed in this tour. Our guide turned out to be just a driver and has only been on the job for a month which meant we had no commentary and he had no idea what he was doing especially toilet stops. At least the cheese tasting stop was the highlight of the day. The wine tasting was average plus we had lunch at this stop which was very expensive. The chocolate tasting was okay - very strange flavours but was very expensive - I personally wouldn't buy at that price. I personally reached out to the owner on the day giving feedback. For what we experienced on the day wasn't value for money
Really good half day...
