Hi Jinsun, thankyou for your lovely review. We will pass your comments onto the driver and that's just great you enjoyed the wineries you visited.

Service impeccable

Notre chauffeur était super. Beaucoup d’explications, ponctuel, de l’humour. Bref la prestation de Hop On Hop Off est conforme aux attentes ... par contre, votre journée peut coûter cher si vous ajoutez toutes les dégustations dans les vignobles ( un peu une arnaque).

Hi Nathalie, thank you for the review ! Glad you enjoyed the day exploring the region but I don't think it is fair to state it is a scam, as we state we only provide the transport. We also do offer discounts at select venues. Also our online map provides a list of all the venues we visit and we have included tasting prices so people can decide on where to go based on that, as the more popular vineyards would be more expensive.
