Superb and not to be missed! - We’d planned this trip as we had a friend visiting from Manchester and we all love wine!
It was a superb experience from start to finish! Communication was excellent, and Welo arranged everything just as we’d requested.
Our driver, Romeo, had a great sense of humour and navigated safely whilst keeping us entertained. The vineyard where we had our wine tasting was also superb - in a perfect location and with an expert to guide us through a great selection of the local wines.
On our way back, we were even able to sing along to music we selected ourselves - entertaining the locals into the bargain!
10/10

I highly recommend this wonderful experience! - I had a fantastic time! We were expertly guided by our friendly tour guide and were shown the beautiful Geneva countryside and the tuktuks are so fun. The wine tasting was superb and the owner of the vineyards taught us the techniques and delicacies of wine. I highly recommend this wonderful experience!

Stunning Views and Incredible Wine - Incredible experience!! About a 40 minute drive out to the vineyard, but it was a stunning drive so it flew by. Our guide was friendly and informative. The winery was beautiful and quaint. For everything you get, the price is worth it (6-8 glasses of tasting wine, cheese and meat board, full glass, etc)! The Gamaret Rose was my favorite. Would definitely recommend when visiting Geneva!!

Awesome day!!! - Yanick was our guide and he was awesome!!! We had a little mishap in the beginning of our trip and he stepped up and saved the day!! He took us on a beautiful country ride and found us a sunflower field to sit and have wine. He became a friend fast!! Would recommend them to anyone!

Fantastic trip and great wine - Aubin was an amazing host, he told us all about the different areas as we traveled to the winery. The scenery was stunning and the TukTuk very comfortable. We had a bottle of wine and charcuterie board waiting for us on arrival to enjoy on our journey. The winery was in a fabulous location and we tried 6/7 different wines all good quality. We were then given an additional bottle of wine when we left. If your looking for a relaxing trip, enjoy the beautiful scenery and like wine, this is the tour for you.

Great experience - We had a great experience! Although I recommend to do it in the summer so you can see beautiful vines! ☺️
Thank you for the tour!

Disappointing experience - The tour was disappointing as we only visited 1 vineyard, and we tasted around 5-6 wines which we were all quite ordinary / cheap bottles. Also the explanation was done by an intern at the vineyard who didn't speak any English (so our tuk tuk driver had to translate). Also she wasn't very knowledgeable, so we relied mostly on the tuk tuk driver's knowledge around wine and the region to get some insights.
The drive to the vineyard was around 1h going and 1hr coming back. The ride over was nice and the scenery is beautiful. Also our tuk tuk driver was really nice and told us some interesting stories on the way over.
I feel this tour operator offers too many different experiences (fondue, wine, aperitivo, etc) with their tuktuk that they may lose a bit of the specialisation of the wine tours. Also for this price I expect to visit multiple vineyards and taste higher quality wine. Also to stop on the way over to take pictures at the vineyards and to be trained to do this
All in all would not recommend...

We were disappointed in... - We were disappointed in the trip. Kind of expected a guide that took us down the vineyards, telling us about all the wines the grow, do some tastings meanwhile. Instead it was a taxi trip to a winery and we had some wines to taste at the winery. Not worth the money. The lady at the winery was nice though!

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. DO NOT BOOK!! - This is honestly the worst tour I've ever taken through TripAdvisor/Viator. It was essentially a young man ("the tour guide") taxiing us to a winery and back.
It took about 40 minutes to get to the winery. The winery had no idea we were coming. Eventually the owner was found (luckily because he lived next door). The winery owner was very sweet, but did not speak English very well and the tour guide was not a lot of help with translation. We stayed at the winery for about an hour, which was the one nice part. The wine was good and the owner did his best to describe everything we were drinking.
On the way back, we had a lot of extra time since we were booked for 3 hours, so the tour guide drove us around the city in the tuk tuk. He took us in areas that were restricted by motorized vehicles and was told to leave by one of the residents.
The entire time of the trip, our guide never spoke to us. Never gave us any sort of information. He was texting and on his phone basically the whole ride there and back. He was a glorified Uber driver in an uncomfortable vehicle.
On top of all that, we were never given wine and cheese as advertised as we rode around. We also weren't offered a bottle of wine as a substitute as was listed either.
If you couldn't tell, this was DEFINITELY not worth the $550 we spent. I'm planning to reach out to TA to see about some sort of refund or to get this excursion removed from their site. Its that bad!
