Excelente para los conocedores del mundo del vino. Muy buena atención por parte de los guías. El unico detalle faltante fue un minimicrofono en la van, pues las explicaciones que ofrecían no se escuchaban claramente en la parte de atrás del vehiculo.

This tour was the highlight of our trip to Montreal! Nickolas was so knowledgeable, and his great relationships with the vineyards made the whole experience spectacular.
