Me and my family had a wonderful day with Jean-Luc, our guide. We drive along the beautiful coast, took many stops for photos and enjoyed the view. Our highlight was definitely the Constantina glen winery. Amazing food, good wine and the perfect end of our tour. Jean-Luc knew everything about the town and the local life and it was a big pleasure to spend the day with him. We really recommend this private tour!
