A very nice experience. - Foggy morning made the views tough to see, wish it was sunshine, but that was no fault of the program.

Excellent experience - I highly recommend the wine tour. Our guide Eddie was super helpful and knowledgeable and the wine was exceptional in both vineyards. The hosts at the vineyards were also exceptional.

Wonderful wine tasting - Eddie was a wonderful tour guide, passionate about wine and helping people experience it with deeper engagement. He learned everyone's name on the tour immediately and went out of his way to ensure everyone was both engaged and enjoying themselves. We learned a lot, enjoyed excellent wine, met lovely people, and had a wonderful time. Highly recommended.

All aspects of the tour... - All aspects of the tour lived up to its marketing and other reviews. The views, however, exceeded our expectations and the first winery, dating to the 1700s was architecturally amazing. Mathilde was a wonderful guide - knowledgeable and pleasant.

Great Tour - Nice visit of two little wineries right in the slopes of Cote Rotie. Mathilde was a great and knowledgable guide. Only problem, how to bring all the good wines home?

Beautiful visit - Our tour guide is very nice and friendly. She took us to 2 different vineyards. She explained to us everything and pay attention to all our questions. She also give us a chance to meet one of the owner of the vineyards. That is also the highlight part of our tour. I was very touched when he says it is the people who makes the wines

Trip good, ending bad. - The overall experience for the trip was good. It was a rainy day and the host, Eddy, did his best to make the trip pleasant. Biggest complaint is Eddy dropped us off four blocks from the designated tour end point. We were somewhat disoriented as to the location and struggled to return to familiar area.

Beaujolais tour was better than this Rhone tour - The tour was only OK. We didn't visit 3 wineries, only 2. The guide was perhaps not having his best day and was abit impatient with the people on the tour. We did a Beaujolais tour a couple of days later and had a great time.
