“Les visites des vignobles étaient parfaites mais le tour beaucoup plus long qu’indiqué. Nous avons quitté l’hôtel à 8:00 et sommes de retour à 19:15. Pas à cause du traffic mais plutôt de la logistique du changement d’autobus. Nous avons perdu au moins 3 heures dans l’après-midi pour tuer le temps et attendre des passagers qui faisaient un tour différent mais qui devaient embarquer avec nous vers Toronto. Après discussion avec le chauffeur, ce tour dure toujours plus de 8h. Ceci devrait être indiqué dans le détail du tour.”
