GroupVerified bookingMar 20265/5This was the perfect last minute tour. Great value for money and super flexible. The staff were very friendly and we enjoyed the different guides on the buses, they had a great sense of humour and some good recommendations. We only stopped at three wineries as we took our time and enjoyed each place.DDawn M
