Perfect afternoon - The guide Dorian was awesome. Super personable and wonderful way of handing on his knowledge. Comfortable car ride, very inclusive, pointed out places of interest en route. The additional tour around St Emilion was so interesting. Getting to go underground in the limestone cellars/caves was also cool. Super recommend!

Amazing tour! - Absolutely lovely tour. Perfect if you just need a few hours, not a whole day. And you don’t need to be an expert on wine or the region. Mel was our tour guide. She was exceptionally good and high energy

Lovely afternoon in France’s famous wine country - My wife and I spent a delightful couple of hours in Saint-Emilion. Our guide, Lena, from Bordeaux was informative, personable, and charming. She made the excursion a friendly and educational experience for our group of 8 English-speakers, who met for the first time as we boarded the van for the village. There we were met by the equally charming Amber, who hosted a tasting session and provided an explanation of the wines made at the Chateau. Following that we visited the picturesque village of Saint-Emilion. In summary, the tour delivered exactly what it promised. Money and time well spent.

Great adventure - Make sure you have good walking shoes for St. Emellion. Beautiful drive, Nina has lots of good knowledge and history to share. Wish there was more time, but isn't that always the case?

Medoc Wine Tour - Our guide Gabrielle was also our driver. He was excellent at both! We visited 2 wineries, one of which was an organic vineyard. The hosts at both were very informative and the wines were very different and interesting. We had a snack of cheese, sausage, bread & chocolate at the second winery. We took some of the bread to a nearby lake to feed the ducks & geese! A very enjoyable excursion.

Mediocre wine tour - Nice tour guides and good wine but very small pours. Spent most of time in the car and stuck in traffic which ruined the experience. Overall experience felt very cheep.

Good for newbies - This tour fits solidly in a rating of ‘OK’. The excursion can be broken down into travel, winery and the local village (St. Emillion). First the highlights: Our guide was very good and knowledgeable. He kept the conversation going and everyone in our group engaged. St. Emillion was an excellent stop. Its history was very interesting and there is a reason it is such a popular tourist destination. Well worth a stop in my book. The low points of the trip for me was first, the winery itself. This is only because I have been to plenty of other wineries and this one really was no different. On the other hand, others of my group who had not been to a real winery before found it very interesting. The tasting was meager at best. Small sips/tasting of three wines and we were done. I expected a lot more for the money. Speaking of money, I did not feel it was worth the cost. Especially as other members of my tour paid up to $30 less when booking on other sites. I took the easy route when booking and paid the price. I also did not enjoy the completely full van. Everyone was crammed into a nine-person van. As we had almost two hours of travel there and back, it really detracted from the overall experience.
