    A nice tour with a great guide who was indeed a wine expert! (we were a pleasantly surprised at his level of knowledge). We were traveling with a 94 year old and she was able to navigate all the places we visited. The tour was at a nicely paced, we never felt rush which based on our past experiences can sometimes happens. The restaurant recommendation options provided by the tour operator were at places a bit fancier than we might have selected, but we had time to research in advance so that’s on us and I’m sure we could have asked about more casual places. Overall a great tour and would recommend to anyone looking for a nice wine tasting tour in this area.

    Our Tour guide Lores was knowledgeable, warm, and friendly. We never felt rushed, and he was excellent at communication. His driving was excellent during the tour and very safe. He handled our luncheon orders for us, due to the fact, he knows four different languages,. I would highly highly recommend this tour and for sure this tour guide. it was amazing.
