Concha Y Toro is a bit more commercialized. I wish the tour goes to another smaller vineyard. We enjoyed the recommended restaurant for lunch.</p>

Good tour close to the city - This was a fun day trip from the city; very close if you want a winery experience and don't want to travel far. Tour was very good and fun, as was the wine tasting.

Nice combination of wineries - A nice combination of wineries, as Concho & Toro is largest winery and the little "show" for Casa del Diablo was entertaining. Our tour guide at Cousina Macul -- Alejandro -- was awesome. He was genuine and seemed to genuinely enjoy his role and Cousino has such a storied past that it seemed less commercial.
Our driver and tour guide were both great, although found it interesting that the tour company doesn't let their guides actually go on the tours so that they can become more acquainted and knowledgeable about what they're doing.

<p>My only change would be to include either time for lunch or have a lunch included. We were picked up at 10:30am and we returned about 6pm. We had about 8 minutes to get empanadas at the restaurant at Concha y Toro, which was a lifesaver!</p>

DO NOT BOOK A TOUR WITH VIATOR - We didn’t get to go on this tour because your company screwed up. The tour was supposed to start at 9:00. We sat in our hotel lobby until 10:00 when I find out through What’s App the tour was cancelled. Great time, especially when customer service tried to blame me even though no cancellation email was sent by you and you charged my credit card two days before the tour.
