Hopon Hopoff
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The range of wineries to visit were very good - we were particularly pleased there were a number of organic vineyards to enjoy. The bus was comfortable and clean. The Hopon Hopoff driver was pleasant and reliable - a very enjoyable trip. Thank you.

Hidden fees
Very disappointed in customer service Had to change date of booking and forced to pay difference to make full ticket price despite tand cs stating could change the date. Very rude customer service, threatened to cancel if did not pay additional fee. Would not provide a secure payment option, insisted on credit card over phone.

Great day out
It was POURING with rain the day we did our tour but our driver was so fantastic, he had great knowledge of the area, wines and was so accomodating, dropped us right outside our door at the end so we wouldn't get drenched walking. So considerate. We had a blast. They also let us know first thing where we would need to book in advance.
