A great day out! Our guide Melita was fantastic. She had great commentary and was lovely to chat to. All the vineyards we visited were beautiful. It really felt like we got special treatment with the best tables and knowledgeable people. It was just me and my partner on this tour so we were really grateful that they ran it just for us. Would definitely recommend!

This tour was really enjoyable tour. The group was of a great size, only 5 of us on this particular one, but even at their max it is only 11. Our guide was very knowledgeable on all aspects of the island and was very helpful with advice and ensuring everyone had a great time. The wineries were all in wonderful scenic locations. I particularly liked Castilla Miro. Time was also given to allow the guests to select their own location for lunch before returning to the ferry. Would definitely use again if visiting the island.

What a wonderful tour! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the Island and made the trip fun and entertaining. The three wine vineyards we went to were unique and wonderful. We had some very good and enjoyable wines. Well worth the trip! Our guide also suggested some restaurants for lunch and the one we selected (the fish and chips) was delicious! Thanks for such a wonderful day!
