The Best Tour of Our Trip - By Far!

David Hime, 08 November 2025

Our 2+ week of vacationing featured MANY tours around food & wine, and this Tour Guy tour was unquestionably the best! Small tours like this are always wonderful, and this time felt VERY private -- only 4 of us! Our sommelier/guide Kailie was absolutely superb, and the 4 of us could have spent all afternoon with her!!! Kailie was so knowledgeable about both the wines she curated, and the foods selected at our 3 different restaurant stops. And by being intimately small, the 5 of us actually got to know each other too --- a bonus! A great experience, thanks to Kailie!!!
