Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The scenery was breathtaking! The church amazing. Felt rushed in the church. Very disappointed that we didn’t get to go upstairs and see the Black Madonna up close. The wine tasting and tapas was fun, however the wine was just ok. To buy a glass a wine after was so pricey. I felt ripped off when I paid 15 euros for an ounce of orange wine that tasted horrible. The winery surroundings were very lovely.699lalainas

What a beautiful part of Spain! We thoroughly enjoyed this tour, especially the church and INCREDIBLE art museum. The trip to the vineyard with wine tasting and tapas was the icing on the cake. This is a well executed tour. Highly recommend.
