Dear Klaus. You booked a group tour first of all. At a stage we did offer the group tour with a German guide, but if English guests book, the group tour will be done in English, which is understandable. There was Australian guests on tour, so the tour had to be done in English for them to understand. Your tour was also on 3 January, a very busy time of the year and South African holiday time. I could not find a German guide available on that day and I emailed you beforehand to ask and inform you. I have all on email as proof where you said that this is fine and no problem for a English guide. Matthuys was you guide, we normally have only glowing reviews about him. The cheese is small yes, because this is a food and wine pairing with 5 pieces of cheese & 5 wines. Again we have never had complaints about this and guests love the cheese pairing. The lunch was booked at Cuvee Simonsig and each guests can order what they like. Lunch is always booked, so there is no way on this group package that you could "spare" / not have lunch, seeing again that it is a group tour.
You did 5 wonderful farms that day like L Avenir, Hartenberg, Kleine Zalze & Deux Freres. it is a pitty that the tastings was just "ok" for you, seeing that all 5 these estates offer award winning wines.
Perhaps please next time book a private tour and then we can ensure you have a German guide for the day and plan the day according to your requirements. Thank you.
