“INCREDIBLE! Honestly cannot rate this experience any higher. Edgar is a fantastic guide and can slight customise the tour depending on what you want to do, he took us to H&H for some wine tasting and did a stop of for a poncha (would also recommend). We went off road twice. The jeep is fantastic. We asked Edgar all the questions and he spoke wonderful English.”
