I lost a valuable winery client due to Decanter Tours. We were planning a wonderful trip and the owner totally dropped the ball. Stopped responding and left me hanging.

Our local guide (“small” Lawrence) was kind and knowledgeable, and logistics with her and the tour were seamless. Only recommendation would be to cut the wax museum visit (which comes at the end of the day) because by then, you’ve heard Therese’ story a lot and seen “real” sites so the wax museum seemed superfluous.
