The van had 9 seats and plenty of room for coolers in the back and front. We received a 4 pocket wine tote bag with a rose gold wine tumbler, water bottle, and snacks for the trip. Lunch was provided and we could even play our own playlist between wineries. When we arrived to each winery, Jenifer led us directly to our tasting where members from each winery were waiting for us and  she gave us a 10 minute warning before we had to leave. She also took pictures of the group throughout and texted them to me after we finished, which was so helpful! We went to Crow Vineyard, Broken Spoke, and Chateau Bu De on our particular day and had a fantastic time. Patrick, our driver, was also lovely and offered to help us out of the van at every stop. Loved the experience and would highly recommend doing the tour with a bunch of friends to make it a social experience.',5.0,'2021-06-23T11:19:52Z','REV-mhDarzpbm3SNz6FcRS58f4GAhXb8BHg1eV9Izgfe8yo=','en','rachelfY7261EH','TRIPADVISOR'),('7199P6','Chesapeake Region Wine Tour','Back Woods Billy Craft Beer Reviews - Vino 301 Wine Tour Chesapeake Region','Chesapeake Region Wine Tour

My wife & decided to tour the upper eastern shore wineries. So we chose Vino-301 Wine Tours. Which IMO is the best thing to do we were not that familiar with the area. Another consideration is they drive which is great! No worries... They picked us up on the lower eastern shore which saved us not only on gas but Bay Bridge Tolls. Leslie was our driver & she is sommelier, she has a lot of knowledge not only on the subject of wine, but she knows the vineyard owners & wineries. She gave us information on each winery as well as the local area. 

I Posted a RREVIEW of Vino-301 Wine Tour on my You-Tube  Channel Called  { Backwoods Billy Craft Beer Reviews }  Part 1 of 4 was Posted on July 23,2019 Titled Review of Vino 301 & Broken Spoke Winery.

We toured 3 wineries the tasting fees were included. We received cool wine gift bags that included a Vino-301 wine glass & also they water bottles in them. They have a Place for a bottle of wine & 2 wine glasses. 

The tour includes snacks & bottled water do not worry they have a cooler full of bottled water.

Cheers,

I\'m the tag-a-long, videographer, driver lol. So was a nice change to be driven and just sit back, chill listen and join in the conversation.  Leslie was our driver and guide. She was very personable, knowable, helpful and just all round fun and bubbly. (no pun intended;) The tour was relaxing and nicely paced. We visited three wineries, where the various wines were explained and then everyone was able to sample and enjoy them. Then we were driven back to our starting area and went on our way having met and enjoyed new friends. Tried new wines and experienced a delightful afternoon get away. So if your looking for a fun outing with your friends, loved ones or just looking to met and or try some new wines or looking for a little afternoon adventure; I\'d say try a wine tour. You\'ll never know what you might learn or who you might meet and it\'s an awesome way to try new wines to see what you might like.

We were the only ones doing the wine and beer and spirits tastings so we never had a chance to sit down and enjoy the snacks we brought with a purchased bottle of wine. We ended up having to eat in the van while driving to the next place. Every where we went, the employees told us how much we owed for the tastings.

Bill picked us up at our hotel in the middle of Blenheim. After two more pickups, 4 couples were on their way.

We were taken to 4 of the smaller vineyards in the region, all between Blenheim and Renwick. Lunch was an option at the first so, since we were eating out in the evening, we shared a small cheeseboard. 

The tastings were all first-rate. Although some of the wines weren’t ones we’d normally drink, the descriptions and the tastings were always enjoyable.

To finish, we visited a small chocolate-maker. A nice way to end the day.

Bill was a superb guide. He stayed with us the whole time (drinking water), and adding to the general experience with additional explanations and stories.

Also, after the morning Ganges boat ride, we were told by our guide that \'tipping\' was optional to the boat rower and not included in our tour price, so we gave him a reasonable amount.

If there was a set price expected, it should have been mentioned upfront.

Regardless of the above, we still had an amazing time with this tour and Bharat was a good guide =)

The experience of Varanasi through our guide Rohitji’s wording has been phenomenal. We really have no words to portray it. His aim was to acclimatize us to the culture of Benaras. But I must point out it certainly went beyond our knowledge. 
Seeing the smiling face of our driver Pankajji in Rain or Shine was so delightful. And those stories about the city and people, recommending the best places to eat plus guidance on being careful certainly add another star to this appraisal.

We had the 2 night/3 day tour which, because of our flight times, was condensed into two half days and one full day.  However, such was the efficiency of our driver and guides, that we had no problem covering all the items on our itinerary and never felt we were being rushed.  We started off with a walking tour through the tiny alleyways where we saw the various markets (spice, flower, fruit and veg, textiles etc) and our guide took us to places we probably would never have seen had we been left to our own devices.  We then went down to the Ganges for a canoe trip down to the main Ghat where we saw the cremations happening.  We learn\'t much about Lord Shiva and why this is one of the most sacred places for Hindus (not only is there a major temple to him here, but also, they believe that the Ganges flows from his hair).   
We were also taken on an evening boat ride, from where we were able to watch the daily aarti ceremony (religious ritual of worship). 
Another sight that we probably would\'t have found by ourselves, was an Indian school of wrestling which was interesting to see.
Also, we were taken to a major Buddhist temple and a lovely old weaving shop where the goodness knows how old \"Master\" was plying his trade on a very old loom, where the design is sketched out and then transferred somehow onto cardboard punch cards which are then fed through in order, so the Master knows exactly when to change the threads.  We also saw an even older loom which can use up to 30 different coloured silk threads at the same time, but amazingly, this one has to be used from memory as there are no written down patterns.  Unfortunately, this seems to be dying out as the youngsters no longer want to keep it going.
So, to sum up, this was a great tour - well organised, efficient, with friendly and informative guides and driver.  They will also tailor your tour to your needs.

He was well versed and thoughtful in bringing us to different spiritual sites. Our guides were prompt in picking us up from the airport. We arrived at 12PM and were brought to our hotel. I would advise travellors to skip hotel check-in so they don\'t waist valuable tour time stuck in traffic (we had to change our tour schedule because of it.) The first day we went to a silk manufacturer that specialised in Jacquard. It was a short experience with a sales focus. We then went ot a restaurant with a large number of other tourists, the food wasn\'t flavorful as most street food, but it was clean. We then didnt have time to go to our next destination so we went to the cremation site which was the spiritual hilight of the trip. The guide talked us through the meaning and significance of the practice. Raw and emotional, not for the faint of heart.  We then walked to the evening ceremony (not the hi-light even though there is much tradition, its really nothing more than a few monks yelling in a microphone for an hour (no disrespect at all, just curbing expectations.)) Our seats weren\'t great as we had a pole right in front of our faces. We were brought to the three star hotel afterwards, which was another story. There were mice in the unit, and alot of hair on the shower floor,  however, the setting was beautiful and the hotel pick was great.
The next morning we went to the ganges for sunrise which was absolutely stunning and the guide shared some of his favorite street food with us which tasted great. We then went to Sarnat the buddhist site and the guide brought us to an antioque shop, but everything being sold was new but made to look old. We left and were brought to a restaurant that was empty save ofr a few tourists and the food was sub par and flavorless, but clean. That concluded our tour. I think it would be easy to get a similar experience for half the cost, and on your own with a few google searches to find general information about the sites.  however, the guide made it so we could be present in the moment and not on our phones researching what the significance of the cremation site was. Also note that there is only one night stay in the hotel, it is a two day, one night tour. I would recommend to families, but i think negotiating a rate for more people would make it feel more fair. 3.5/5',3.0,'2024-02-21T02:22:11Z','REV-uIStJDFjFOuu+iiXKx/YtYXU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','David_L','VIATOR'),('72040P9','2 Days Varanasi tour package for first timers','Beautiful city and really unique experience','Wonderful experience.

The guide talked us through the meaning and significance of the practice. Raw and emotional, not for the faint of heart.

I would advise travellors to skip hotel check-in so they don\'t waist valuable tour time stuck in traffic (we had to change our tour schedule because of it.)

We then went ot a restaurant with a large number of other tourists, the food wasn\'t flavorful as most street food, but it was clean. We then didnt have time to go to our next destination so we went to the cremation site which was the spiritual hilight of the trip. The guide talked us through the meaning and significance of the practice. Raw and emotional, not for the faint of heart.

The next morning we went to the ganges for sunrise which was absolutely stunning and the guide shared some of his favorite street food with us which tasted great. We then went to Sarnat the buddhist site and the guide brought us to an antioque shop, but everything being sold was new but made to look old.

We then went ot a restaurant with a large number of other tourists, the food wasn\'t flavorful as most street food, but it was clean.

The guide talked us through the meaning and significance of the practice. Raw and emotional, not for the faint of heart.

I think it would be easy to get a similar experience for half the cost, and on your own with a few google searches to find general information about the sites.  however, the guide made it so we could be present in the moment and not on our phones researching what the significance of the cremation site was. Also note that there is only one night stay in the hotel, it is a two day, one night tour. I would recommend to families, but i think negotiating a rate for more people would make it feel more fair. 3.5/5',3.0,'2024-02-21T02:22:11Z','REV-uIStJDFjFOuu+iiXKx/YtYXU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','David_L','VIATOR'),('72040P9','2 Days Varanasi tour package for first timers','Beautiful city and really unique experience','Wonderful experience.

We were half of the time inside the hotel. 😢 (plus we were very far from the main area of Varanasi)
