“Great way to see the island. And what a beautiful island it is. You won’t be disappointed. We didn’t do any of the wineries but they did really sound good. So if wine your thing then well worth a visit. As you get plenty of time so it’s worth taking advantage of so many wineries on offer. Guides really chatty and informative. We had a really lovely girl who originally from Southend in UK, who noted our English and Essex accents. Lovely person . Gave lots info about the stops. Loved stop 9 the beach! The sun was hot! Very chilled atmosphere and beautiful to swim in the sea there.…”
