Great tour! Got to taste local food and wine. Tour guide was very informative and enthusiastic . And very patient too! My husband and I got lost and couldn’t find the meeting point. We told her we’ll just cancel as to we don’t want to hold up the group but she insisted on waiting and finding us. Thanks so much, we’re so glad we were able to join the tour ,
