Review of Armenia’s Khor Virap, Noravank, Birds’ Cave and Areni wine tour, with practical advice on sights, transport, lunch, timing and value.
“I must say that it was an amazing tour! Our guide Ms. Anastasia did a fantastic job explaining the history and local culture, which got me interested and engaged. She is so friendly which will make you comfortable. Transportation was comfortable, the schedule was well managed, thanks to our driver Mr. Edgard. The destinations were absolutely beautiful. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area. It was joined a group tour, but no one else came. The tour operator still proceeded with the tour, which I truly appreciated.”

Explore Amboise’s historic troglodyte wine caves, learn Loire Valley wine basics, and taste six wines with cheese and charcuterie.

Soak in a beer or wine bath, sip Bernard beer or Prosecco, and relax in Prague’s largest salt cave.
“Wonderful experience. I picked this one over the many other Beer Spa experiences as I don't like beer and this offered a wine spa option. My skin felt lovely and soft afterwards and it was a lovely 'warm' break from all the sightseeing in the -3 degree weather!! The host was really lovely and we got a couple of bottles of beer as gifts to take away too. The venue was great - very clean and welcoming. The only slight complaint was that I was unable to book a beer spa and wine spa option together (ie: the beer for my partner and the wine for me) so had to…”
Review of Perth’s 12.5-hour Margaret River tour, with Busselton Jetty, brewery lunch, Mammoth Cave and Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse.
“This tour covers a lot of territory, is a very long day but is a great way to see much of the Margaret River area. I personally would skip the stops at Busselton and the cave and devote that time to the town of Margaret River, which looked charming. It was late when we got there and raining.”
Explore Belgrade’s Roman Well, Tito-era bunker, Roman artifacts, and a 19th-century wine cellar on this lively 3-hour tour.
“Mihailov (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) was an incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and talented guide. First of all, the places you visit during the tour are very well-structured and absolutely worth seeing, especially if you have even a slight interest in history. It was a fun historical journey from the Roman Empire to modern Belgrade — thank you so much, we learned so many new things! The wine we had at the end of the tour was absolutely amazing, but I forgot to ask its name before leaving 🥲 Thank you again!!”
Explore Kefalonia’s Melissani and Drogarati caves, stop at Myrtos Beach, and taste local wine on a five-hour shore excursion.
“All of the other rave reviews are correct. This tour was the highlight of our trip. Katarina was born for this. She taught us about the history, culture and introduced us to delicious wines. Such a beautiful place with charming people. Even if you only have a few hours in Kefalonia, I highly recommend this tour.”
