Other visitors’ opinion on the Witnesses of time tour
We arrived in Logrono on the weekend and had not pre-booked any tours. I called Inma on Sunday morning in the hopes that she may have a tour running that day. She informed me that the wineries are closed for tours on Sunday and it would be impossible to arrange a tour in such short notice. However, she called back several minutes later and had managed to arrange a tour for us!!
I cannot give Inma high enough praise for the day we spent with her. She is resourceful, highly educated and experienced in the area of wines and wine making, friendly, speaks English very well and she provided us with the tour we were looking for.
We saw the beautiful landscapes of the area, visiting several wineries, went out to the vineyard and examined the vines, had a delicious picnic of local fare in the cellar of a medieval church, visited and walked through a lovely medieval town. We could never have had an experience like that without her. Highly recommend this tour!!!!!!!
