    Take bathers and enjoy the ocean. Great tour and the food options are great as well. Only bummer was all the buses had the wrong times after daylight saving.

    You have, when you hop off, an hour to wait for another bus. Sadly if you hop.off at a winery which was closed it is an hour of boredom as you are miles from anywhere and no coffee shop nearby. Make sure place is open before you get off

    Recommend this tour - great experience to see the island at your own pace with the hop on / hop off buses - we had plenty of time to see what we wanted and didn’t have to wait long for the buses to get around- drivers were great - informative and friendly- we had lovely weather so saw the island in its splender.
