"Es war ein tolles Erlebnis fur uns. Wir haben superleckere Tapas in 4 verschiedenen Restaurants/Bars gehabt, verschiedene Sherrysorten probiert und haben nebenbei noch viel uber Vejer und die Region erfahren. John Carlos hat das sehr gut gemacht. Auch die An- und Abfahrt mit dem Taxi (von Conil) hat er noch organisiert. Wir empfanden diesen Abend als einen Hohepunkt unseres Urlaubs und konnen diese Tour nur weiterempfehlen. John Carlos spricht sehr gutes und gut verstandliches Englisch."

"We took this tour with Carlos on a sunny July evening which was perfect. His knowledge of sherry/wine and the region is excellent. He made the tour fun and informative - without being too technical. It was such an enjoyable evening and fantastic way to see more of Vejer and learn about the history and dynamics of the area. We were still chatting until well after the tour ended. We’d highly recommend this tour. It is excellent value for money - we tasted five wines/sherry and the accompanying food was delicious. If you know a little or know a lot, you’ll throughly enjoy this experience. Mucho Gracias Alex"

"This is an absolutely fantastic tour - don't even hesitate, book book book! We wandered the beautiful streets of this picturesque village, sampling the most delicious tapas and sherry, and learning so much about pairing these from the brilliant Carlos. The food and drink are wonderful, but the knowledge, enthusiasm and passion that Carlos shows puts this tour as a definite must. Carlos also offers other tours - I will most definitely be back!"
