We were so well taken care of and learned so much about every area we travelled through! The bus ride, while long, there is so much to see and gives a much needed rest before one of the stops, which is quite a lot of walking up an incline. Would recommend for physically fit individuals, or those who want a challenge! We felt very welcomed throughout!

The guide was excellent,be even while on the bus providing us with interesting facts on history, culture . The lunch at winery was very nice but a smaller intimate group would be preferred. Several bus tours there at the same time, room was loud. All very nice but my preference would be a smaller group.
