    We visited three Beautiful Lovely Wineries with wine tastings at each. We also stopped to have lunch at a fourth winery with no tastings and the lunch was very tasty! The views of the wineries were absolutely spectacular!

    Friendly staff

    Staff was very friendly. A couple of them came up to each passenger and introduced themselves and asked if they needed anything during the trip to reach out to them.

    Wonderful friendly crew!

    Wonderful ambassadors welcome you from the queue to on board. Very personable, professional and friendly.

    Avoid using Viator for this aervice

    Arrived on time to be told Viator mobile tickets not accepted. We were taken to the ticket office to print them. It took ages for them to locate the booking and eventually print tickets. By the time we made it back to the boarding area they'd closed boarding. We had to argue with them to let us on to avoid missing our next tour on the island. Fullers have yet to apologise or provide an explanation, although they've claimed we'd changed the booking and checked-in the previous day, that certainly wasn't us!
