Freddy was a gem, we had a wonderful day touring around and even when in the car between stops the conversation flowed about history and local information.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the day and the conversations along the way. It was a pleasure sharing the history and local insights with you, and I’m glad the day felt so enjoyable. Hope to welcome you again soon for another adventure! 😊
This tour was ok. I thought I would get more information on the history of wine making. I did like that we were able to sample 9 different wines. Make sure to check your calendar for any holidays. We missed out on the tour because most were closed
Hello Tamica, thank you for you message. Apologizes for the miss understanding We understood you answered to be more interested in visiting the city for historical details more than visiting Wineries as agreed on board. We recommend you for the next visit to book a full day tour instead of a half day tour for more detailed and relaxing tour. Also to be clear with the driver/guide which are your main interest visiting/sigthseen the villages or visiting the wineries. If you booked only for a half day in the afternoon and you precise wineries is your interest, probably villages visit will not be possible with only a half day tour. And vice versa if you indicate you want to visit the village, probably you only will have time for wineries visit and not much for the village. In you case hopefully you had the visit of the viallge and two wineries wich is rare. You had a good driver/guide. I would recommend him and congratulate him on your behalf. Thank you again for your visit Tamica. Safe travels back home Best regards,
