Reviews
This tour was fantastic! Our guide Tom was just excellent! He was informative and very laid back and approachable. The food was all very good. I highly recommend this tour!
Very good, Clara was very friendly and went out of her way to get to know everyone in the group. A good mix of history about the area, food and drink. Would not have found half of what we discovered, ate and drank without this tour. Definitely recommend
Spectacular.
