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

Saint- Emilion and Chateau St George's - We were greeted by Astrid our host & guide for our trip. She was very well informed and gave us a good guide through Bordeaux on the way to Saint- Emilion. The village was beautiful and picturesque with an abundance of historical buildings. It's a UNESCO world heritage site and we even got to see the underground church, which is a peaceful and very sereal place. The vineyard we visited was Chateau Saint George's and the tour there was filled with information and the processes of the vineyard from growing to bottling and sending out the wine all around the world 🌎 Tasting was good and informative. 😋

Too little wine and a lot... - Too little wine and a lot of transport. You can easily do this on your own if you have a car. There is no chance of getting too much to drink

Decent value for money for the price compared to other tours. - The tour guides at each vineyard were great, very knowledgeable. Was difficult to hear the main tour guide on the bus speaking to us during the his rides though, but that didn’t take away from the experience. Wine was tasty and learnt a lot. There’s no food provided in the tour other than a bit of bread and marmalade at the second vineyard on the Friday tour so make sure to eat beforehand and use the bathrooms at each place, the toilet on our bus didn’t work.

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.
