Förträfflig guide, minns ej namnet. Vi var svenskar och spanjorer och guiden växlade mellan spanska och engelska väldigt fint. Guiden var hela tiden informativ. Ev. hade jag önskat att besöka ännu en vinkällare. I Vittoria gick vi mest runt och hade lite fri tid för fika. Men i det stora hela, en trevlig utflykt, kul att se omgivningarna och det vackra landskapet.

Great day for exploring Spain's wine country!

This was a really fun tour. We had a wonderful guide who gave us good information and made it very enjoyable. The wine tour they provided of a small boutique winery was exceptional. We also loved having some time on our own to explore these two marvelous towns and enjoy a very delicious lunch. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get a general feel for the area in a one day span. It made us all want to return to the region and explore more.

Overall good, but time management needs work

This was a combined English/Spanish tour, with 3 English speakers (including us), and around 15 Spanish speakers. The guide (Stephane) was good and spoke a lot about Basque culture and the region. The Vitoria portion was okay - but not that special. The Rioja portion took us to Laguardia, which was a nice place to visit. However, the timing of our winery tour plus lunch (not included) took us into siesta time (2:30 - 3:30), where everything seemed to be closed. The guide had recommended visiting a particular church, but when we got there, it was closed, re-opening at the time our bus left the town. Nice scenery on the bus ride down the mountains, and we stopped at a good picture location. Some nice picture spots around Laguardia as well.
