Amazing tour!
The Medoc tour is simply incredible. The chateaus in the region are stunning, both to tour and simply to look at. Having food pairings at each chateau was a fantastic touch, it really adds to the experience of tasting the wines. Our guide, Ismael, was great. He knew lots about the region, and filled out the tour between chateaus with great facts and trivia.

Wonderful Tour
The St Emilion tour was fantastic. Our guide, Roberto, was extremely knowledgeable and set us up perfectly to get the most from the winery tours. He was also very personable. The wineries that we visited were gorgeous, and the wines were very good. St Emilion itself is stunningly beautiful.

A Long Day - but worth it!
Enjoyed a long but delightful day exploring the Bordeaux wine region with our guide, Daniel.
First stop - a wine shop and tasting of five wines. The shop owner asks everyone to rank the top two at the end of the trip and we were shocked we all chose the least expensive!
Second Stop - small vineyard right outside Saint Emilion proper. I thought I hated merlot until I tried it here. Wow - amazing
We also had lunch at the end of this stop. That's the only thing I think could be improved upon on the tour. Lunch was a charcuterie board shared by each couple that include bread, cheese, meats and veggies. It was large, but knowing we would be drinking all day could have used something a bit heavier like a true sandwich.
The two afternoon stops in the Medoc. By this point we had driven (ridden) quite a bit and with the 105* heat it gets a bit hard to remember. But I do know our last shop did a chocolate pairing with the wines that was delightful.
Daniel was an excellent guide with SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE. It was a lot of wine and a lot of driving/riding - but worth every penny! An incredible value for everything we drink and saw that day!

Best activity in bordeaux
The hour long tour was the best thing we did in Bordeaux. The tour guide was super knowledgeable & the small group of us all had a great time. Would recommend tenfold to anyone visiting Bordeaux, especially when a show is not running as you might get the chance to see even more of the Opera House.

Fab walking tour
Bruno was an excellent guide introducing us to Bordeaux history, culture and development. He was totally entertaining in his style of presentation and gave us a marvellous sense of the place. I would totally recommend this experience to others
