My review of his company remains at 1 star: - Cancelled late Friday afternoon for a Sunday tour - His reasoning was that he had not booked enough people. - He promised to refund me promptly but failed to do so. About a month after our tour was cancelled and three follow-up emails, Bruce partially refunded me. - After posting my review, Bruce fully refunded me and stated that he had made an error. My skepticism remains. I would caution to review his cancellation policies before you book a tour.

When my daughter attempted to use it in 2018, 2019, 2020, she was unable to remain in contact with Bruce (didn't return communications) to get a tour scheduled. After that, nothing. The company is apparently out of business as the website domain is up for grabs, the phone is disconnected, and no information is available anywhere. I did track down Bruce at a company called NewAgSchool, purportedly selling training on running a vineyard and have left to hear back regarding a refund or honoring the gift certificate.

We went to 3 wineries: Dry Mill, Zephaniah, and Willowcroft. All were great and different in their own rights. My favorite of the day was Zephaniah where we actually got to tour the vineyards and see the grounds. The trip was well organized and everything flowed smoothly. We never felt rushed and had adequate time at each winery. We were each provided with a 6 bottle tote bag which made purchasing bottles much easier. Lunch was also provided and included sandwiches, fruit, potato salad, and dessert as well as water and soft drinks. We would definitely sign up with Virginia Wine Tours for another event!

Because it is daunting to plan a trip half-way around the world when there is only limited travel information available, I decided to use experts who have actually lived in South Africa AND know what it is like to be a tourist there.

Everything fell into place from the airport pickup clear though my airport drop-off. In the process, I experienced the trip of a lifetime that far exceeded my expectations which included terrific guided tours of major visitor destinations, scrumptious accommodations, horseback riding through wine country, and a safari experience that knocked my socks off. Plus they made me realize that luxury was not beyond my pocketbook! Using Wild Life Safaris was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

All of the vineyards were immaculate. The last vineyard had not updated their records to reflect our late additions, but that was not on DiVine. Pictures were taken, Natalie engaged without being creepy and communicated throughout the tour. I honestly cannot wait to do this again.

I felt very safe on the rides to and from the wineries. Our host and driver were super friendly and treated us like royalty. Prior to arriving at each venue, we were provided some background and things we should know in advance. She more or less herded us from place to place, which was actually quite comforting. I felt very well taken care of AND seen as I was the only one on the tour not drinking, but I was provided water and other beverages over the course of the day.

While he was nice, he didn't have a lot to add off the track I pretty sure he had memorized. I actually feel like I heard most about which monuments had the best restrooms than much of anything else (we never asked about bathroom situations). Would I book this again, no. Here is what I learned, you still walk a fair amount into these monuments from where they drop you in the golf cart vs. the people who are on the bikes and scooters. If you're really looking for the least amount of walking and able to operate those that would save you time and money. Overall, there was no value for the price tag for us and the guide kind of ruined the experience.

Dropped us at Gallery Place and took the red line two stops to Union Station and the museum was right next door! Just wanted to make sure Nathan was acknowledged for his premiere service and I wanted to let you know how much my sister and I enjoyed the tour and set up our Saturday for a great day. We were on the first tour of the day to see where everything was and then spent the rest of the day going back to those places we wanted to see more of. And there were only 4 of us on the tour! THAT has never happened to me. A microphone for the tour guide and speaker wouuld be helpful if you are sitting further back in the golf cart. But overall. . . a 10 out of 10!
