“Although Nicolas was a great tour guide, this tour was not what we signed up for. We were not informed that it would not be a small group and it would be a private tour. If we had known we would’ve canceled. my husband and I travel independently and so when we do tours, we always look to be with other people. We find that what makes it fun, is engaging with other people from other countries. Most of the reviews articulated thqt the other participants is what made this tour so special. We enjoyed trying the wines and Nicholas was upbeat and informative but the tour was flat! Nicolas…”
