Reviews
Victor was knowledgeable and passionate about WWII. He was very friendly and speaks fluent English. Excellent tour!!
Impeccable! Dulce est une guide merveilleuse! Le paysage est trop beau et toute l’expérience s’était très bien passée.
Absolutely wonderful tour. There were only five of us in a small van and our tour guide, Dulce, was magnificent. We had plenty of free time to explore St. Emillion and enjoyed the three wineries that we visited.
