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.

Lovely day in Margaux - We had a wonderful experience on our tour yesterday. Karim is one of the best tour guides we've ever come across. Engaging, fun, knowledgeable. He made our day! The 2 wineries we visited were lovely. Thanks again!!

More Medoc, Please! - Most informative guide, interesting and fun with a “surprise” site visit. Highly recommend whether or not a wine enthusiast.

Great left bank tour - We visited two wineries that we really enjoyed and the company was great as well. We would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get out of Bordeaux and see the Left Bank.

A compelling experience - The wine education at the first chateau we visited was quite interesting. My partner and I gained an understanding about Medoc and the Margaux appellation . Also, we appreciate the tour as we were not cramped in the vehicle, thanks to our tour guide (Oscar) who made our tour comfortable and light.

Good overall - I really enjoyed our tour guide! She was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. The wineries weren’t our favorite but overall it was a good experience. If this was the only tour we were doing this isn’t the region I would’ve gone to.

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.

Half day tour is too short, but can be too long with an inexperienced host and guide! - It was kind of disappointing tour and not worth for its’ value. The guide was somewhat enthuse, but could not break the ice and brought everyone in the group together. The host could not speak well English thus it was difficult for us to understand her; neither that we were explained the wine making processes in depths.
