Best activity in Bordeaux - Best activity I tried in Bordeaux. Information about the history and development of the wine region was quite interesting. The timing of the stops was good and wine tastings were excellent. Lunch provided was very nice. And of course the scenery is spectacular. Easy comfortable ride in van. Highly recommend!

Bordeaux countryside with wine - Our guide was the best. He gave us all the information during the journey, pleasant and friendly. We visited Saint-Emilion which is a pearl. We had several wine tasting in three different chateaux. All wonderful wines, well chosen. The owner of the first château explained a lot and she was really very nice. Trip on time and absolutely recommend.

Great day trip!! - Rene was a GREAT guide. Very informative and personable. The day far exceeded our expectations. We really enjoyed the 3 vineyards. You should consider having Rene lead trips to Medoc also—-perhaps offer it 2 days a week to pair with this adventure. 😁

A combination of sightseeing and wine tasting - Tour included 4 couples which kept it very friendly and personal. Our guide, Vincent was very friendly and knowledgeable explaining much about the wines and the areas. Three vineyards were visited and each one was unique. No pressure to purchase from any. Lunch was a treat and the free time to walk St E’Million was appreciated.

Customer service excellent - Terrible weather - and no problems whatsoever. Great experience. Well worth the money. Guide Emanuele- excellent. The ladies at each of the wineries were great. I was impressed the first woman knew about Niagara and its rise to become a prominent place in wine production- in the coming years. The second woman at the winery was funny and tastings were great. The 2016 tasting was excellent. I would say, the 2nd place had many sparkling wines - it would have been nice to taste one. The 3rd place was almost perfect. Great host. Great wine. Tastings were a great choice here.

Nice , but free time needed in Saint Emillion - Enjoyed the trip, however, I do have a couple of comments:- 1. It would have been nice to have 1/2 hour free time in Saint Emulsion as this was a beautiful town with some lovely shops and cafes. 2. The first cheateux we visited, where we had our lunch, I feel that the vineyard tours guide , whi was Chinese , was particularly difficult to understand. This may have been the language barrier , rather than her knowledge of vineyards.
