Myself and 4 friends spent the day with Colin visiting 4 vineyards, 3 in France and 1 in Germany. We tasted 27 different wines and had a lunch stop in the middle. Each place we visited was different so we learnt something new at each stop. Colin was knowledgeable and gave us plenty of additional information along the way. He was also really easy going and a pleasure to talk to. I would definitely recommend this tour ????

Excellent service. Here amazing help and support. Many thanks to Swiss Epic Tours. Great location, really pleasant and clean rooms, but the thing that makes this such a good place to stay are the staff. All of the people are incredibly helpful and generous with their time and advice. We travelled with two six year olds and lots of luggage and despite the stairs up to the elevator this was one of the nicest places we stayed in the four weeks

It is a two hour round journey. The bus goes every two hours, so if you get off, you need to wait another two hours before you can get another one! With this in mind, we asked in the Information Center if there was a toilet stop. We were told that there was a toilet on the bus. There wasn't! The recorded commentary in English was not very good, the woman who was commentating had a very uninteresting and dull thin voice. It was hard to hear at times... The bus driver was quite bad tempered and made no effort to help anybody. I felt that we missed a lot because of all these combinations. I would rate it just about acceptable.
