we had a fabulous day on this trip. Christopher made our outbound journey really interesting with his explanation of the island. Las Laguna was a really sweet town and then the wine and cheese tasting was fab, in a stunning setting. Lunch was delicious after which we chose to skip the wine cellar tour and take in the sunshine and views on the terrace. the driver was really safe. I can't think of anything to improve this trip and would highly recommend it.

This place is so beautiful and our guide was awesome. The carbonaceous wine "Hollera" was something I have never tasted before and really liked it! The view and the location was so nice that I stayed for lunch also. Only thing I could have added is a small walk through the grapevine with a little bit of talk about the plants and cutting etc. But overall super experience and I went to see the plants by myself after the tour.

I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Our guide, Miriam, was brilliant from start to finish. Very knowledgeable, giving us the history and facts about the island as we went between stops. The tour was very interesting, the stops were all long enough to see what we wanted to without hanging around. whilst this tour is a bit more expensive than others it is definitely worth the money. thanks for a fabulous day out!

5 out of 5 stars

Our guide, Christopher, was very good - knowledgeable and entertaining. The trip was very enjoyable, probably the best we have been on. The wine and cheese tasting was excellent in itself, but lunch was something else! The quality and quantity of both the food and wine was amazing. We can highly recommend this excursion. Even the rain didn't spoil our enjoyment.
