Summary:
Viator was very good to work with in organizing the tour including pickup location. Our guide Robert was friendly, informed and overall very helpful in getting us to and into the tour facilities (cheese and chocolate factories were very busy). Wine tasting was in a beautiful location with a very friendly and knowledgeable host.
