What a great tour. Patricio and Maria of Wine Explorer (WineX) were very flexible to meet my wishes. I mentioned one bodega that I really wanted to see and can be difficult to arrange and they made it happen. There was a small miscommunication with the pickup time (probably my fault) and when they called to say they arrived and I mentioned I thought it was not supposed to be for another hour and still needed some time, they happily said, no problem and would wait. I said I would rush to grab everything to meet them but they said to take my time (and I believe genuinely meant it). Because of that, they also had to get the time for the bodega tour changed. They were just so accommodating.
Both of them are absolutely wonderful and friendly people. It is more like going out to tour with friends than just tour guides. I’ve used Viator all over the world quite extensively and Patricio and Maria are my favorite guides I’ve ever had. I would use them again without hesitation. They speak English (as well as Spanish and Portuguese). If you want to do wine tours around Mendoza, or especially Valle de Uco, you’d be crazy to use anybody else in my opinion.
I use the reviews on Viator extensively to make my tour decisions so is the reason I’ve written a long one because I was so impressed with them. I hope it helps someone.
