“Claudio was excellent! I struggled with the hike because I came down with a cold which later turned into bronchitis. However, Claudio stopped when I needed to stop, gave me hiking pools to help with the climb and slowed down the pace so I could keep up. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the artifacts along the way! Great to listen to and learn from. This was an experience to remember.”

“1. Ticket Pickup & Boat Boarding We had pre-booked tickets, but the woman checking them by the boat was rude when we asked if we were in the right place. There was no clear signage or guidance, which made the start of the trip stressful. 2. Boat Ride & Walk to Winery None of the staff on the boat spoke English or knew where we were going. When we got off, there were no instructions on where to go. Even German-speaking guests were confused, and we all ended up walking without direction. 3. Winery Visit The vineyard owner was very welcoming and did their best to create a pleasant experience.…”
