Enjoyed Medoc tastings - Ugo was our guide. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about Bordeaux wine. Both tastings were enjoyable although we preferred Chateau Siran.

First, let me start with... - First, let me start with saying the only thing I would change about this trip is that I wish I had taken the full day tour instead of the half day. Our guide, Helen, was an absolute delight and certainly the reason we had such a great time. Helen is funny and knowledgeable and made the time in route fly by. This is a great way to learn about the region and its wines. Highly recommend and cross your fingers that Helen is your guide!

Great experience! - Laetitia was a great tour guide! She was extremely knowledgeable, kind, funny, and kept up a steady stream of facts about wine, the appellations, terroirs, and even about Bordeaux and some French history! The two wineries we went to were great — both unique experiences where you could learn a lot. They weren’t the “Classification officielle des vins de Bordeaux de 1855,” but I suspect they’re better value and I would definitely recommend this tour.

Excellent value for money - Alice was an excellent host. We enjoyed the stops at both vineyards. The guide at Château Prieure Lichine was particularly knowledgeable and at Château Siran the nuclear bunker housing the wine was fascinating! Coming back, we were treated to a game of identifying smells associated with wine. Overall a good, value for money tour.

Fun afternoon in the Left Bank - Had a wonderful time visiting Medoc and tasting wines at two different chateaux. Our tour guide was excellent, informative and upbeat (though did make some inaccurate statements about the use of sulfites in Napa wines).

Very good. - The guide was fantastic. Funny, friendly, and kept us on time even with one very chatty guest. The wine was great and I won’t give any spoilers about the venues but they are well worth the visit.
The only things would say could be better is finding the meeting point. A sign would be good or just say meet outside the travel information centre. And the booking, make people confirm their language, I feel bad for the couple who spoke French and didn’t realise it was an English speaking tour.

The tastings and tour... - The tastings and tour explanations from the Chateaus on site were great. We visited Chateau Prieure Lichine and Chateau Haut-Breton with a very quick photo stop at Chateau Margaux (1 minute). Our driver, Oscar, didn't provide much information during the drive to and from Medoc or between the wine tastings and didn't seem particularly enthusiastic to be there. We would recommend the tour because of the convenience, but wish the driver had taken advantage of the 50 min drive to provide explanations and spoke better English to be able to better understand the group questions.

Disappointing experience! - Our guide Alice was extremely rude and rushed us through the whole experience.
We arrived 3mins late and the first thing she told us in an extremely rude tone: you’re late! As tourist, it can happen that it takes you slightly longer to find the meeting point. Being 3mins late does not warrant such an unwelcomed reception. It sets a wrong tone for the whole trip.
At the end of the wine tasting, we took a few mins to buy some wines and she was rushing both the clients and vendors in the process.
I don’t think it was worth the money spent. Sadly will not recommend this in the future.
