Lovely Solo Travel Option - Went on the Médoc region tour, the tour guide (Bruno) was hilarious and so knowledgeable of the region and the winemaking process. Made for a great afternoon trip out of the city.

Double Chateau delihgt - Tour guide was very informative, spoke about the history of Bordeaux as well as how the wine was made . We actually got to taste the different grapes on the vine in the fields before then entering the Chateau to taste the wine. Fabulous experience. Thanks

Good value for an introductory experience - Knowledgeable guide, toured two wineries. Small tastings at both. Really enjoyed the wine at one of them. Feel it was a good value for the cost.

A village tour not a wine tasting Tour - Guides were fantastic! However, we thought we werebooking a half day wine tour. It was instead a half day walking tour that ended with a single wine tour. Overall it was a good tour but not as the title described. We wanted an afternoon of wine tastings.

Red wine only - The vineyards and wineries were interesting to see. The tour operators were knowledgable and passionate. Worth mentioning in the description for the “non-wine experts” Margaux is known for producing red wine, and there is no white, rose, bubbles to try on this tour. So while the tour was nice, it was a waste for those who don’t drink red wine. Had we known this prior, we would not have booked.

St Emilion half day wine tour not recommended unless it is in one language. - This tour was an afternoon one beginning at 1.30. On October 28th 2024. Unfortunately it catered for both French and English speaking tourists at the same time . It would be far better to have separate days or times for each nationality as all of our time was taken up with alternate translations. This resulted in LONG periods of standing around and listening to another language before we could move on - also we saw less because of this - our time in St Emilion ( the medieval village), was less than satisfactory . Half an hour at most. This concern and disappointment was voiced by many of us on the trip after the fact. There was non stop talking by our guide on the bus which led to a good many admitting to just switching off. The information on wines given on the bus was also repeated at the vineyard. All in all I wouldn’t recommend this trip unless it catered for one language at a time I’m sorry to say.

Half day wine trip - Bordeaux - Having the opportunity to taste wines. Unfortunately tour guide was not the best. We had a 2 hr stop to view church but we left tour to find wine tastings. Others in the group wished they had too.

Awful - Seemed like they put several smaller groups together. Our guide did not speak clear English and could not be heard or understood. It was not an experience in wine country. It was a bus to two low end wineries.
