Gréât tour of area. I was surprised the tour guide was not Chinese, but this added and even better non biased dimension. I would have under appreciated what I saw without her knowledge. Really worthwhile !

Terrible choice of wineries. Waste of time and money.
Only part that was nice was the bus ride.
Waste waste waste!!!!!!!

Dear Stephen,
Thanks for taking the time to write us a review.
We are sorry the tour was not 5 stars only for you this time.
Our company values every single guest feedback and we followed up with everyone that was on the tour to get their opinion on how it went.
Everyone else replied rating the tour at 5 stars. They all like the tour and were 100% satisfied with the service provided.
Still, it is disappointing for us to know that in your case we were not rated 5 stars.
We hope to welcome you again on one of our tours and show you how much we take care of every detail to make our guest's experience unforgettable.
If there are any further comments you would like to add, please contact us at feedback@walks.org.
Kind regards,
Jhonas.

Too much time spent on history and looking at pictures on guide’s iPad … he’d make a great elementary teacher but we were 30 minutes into 90 minute tour before we actually began walking around.

Fascinating tour. Maggie our guide was engaging and I really enjoyed her stories and how she gave us the history in an fun way. Saw many things I wouldn’t noticed without Maggie, and that was amazing. Highly recommend the tour and 5 stars for Maggie.
