Johnny was superb taking us through this tour! He’ll take you to the advertised locations plus some hidden gems. He made the three parties in our tour feel like one small group by the end.
Johnny was great. He was knowledgeable talkative and friendly. I would do other tours with him again. Unfortunately, there is very little food so we got quite loaded unintentionally. That was fun but be prepared to not eat much. A piece of chocolate at location one, cheese and crackers at stop 2, and then nothing at stop 3.
Lisa took us to a wine tasting that was relaxed and very informative. She is also very interesting with lots of stories!
