Reviews
Guy was very fun, knowledgeable guide for the wine tour! 100% recommended!
Theo was a great guide. Not only was he affable and gregarious, his detailed knowledge of Normandie, Brittany plus history in general made the day long trip fun and a learning experience.
We had a great day with Manon taking us through this beautiful location. We were fortunate it was a small group so we were able to ask so many questions all day and she was quite knowledgeable. It was a hot day so we were able to spread out in the comfortable van. The boat ride was beautiful and relaxing, such beautiful scenery all around us. We found a nice spot for lunch that had the menu items we were looking for. The wine tasting at the end of the tour was a great ending. We will have fond memories.
