Great tour

Did this with a friend. A nice small group tour that visits 3 very different wineries. The guide was knowledgeable about history and wine. First wineries was an chateau with guided tour and explanation of the process. Second was a smaller chateau were wines were stored in a cave and were the wine tasting was hosted by the guide. The third was another chateau were the server unfortunately only have received training to tell basic facts about the wine being poured in very small amounts, but it was ok since we already had a lot of wine and information.

Outstanding

Outstanding tour guide. He knew history, and I’m a retired history teacher. Excellent, meaningful tour. One of the best tour guides I’ve encountered.

Enjoyable

We had two wine tastings in two beautiful Alsatian villages in glorious sunshine. Our host, Alain, was warm and informative, showing a genuine interest in the area and its traditions and eager to show us aspects of its character. It included a visit to one of the vineyards which was interesting.

US Half Day Tour

I’ve been through many world war 2 tours and museums across 4 countries and this was my favorite experience thus far. Matt went into great detail and gave me a new perspective on the war. Would do this again but I would stay for the full day tour next time.

Wine Tour of Cote de Nuits and Cote de Beaune

Was a great wine tour with Adam, touring the Cote de Nuits and Cote de Beaune areas. Adam was extremely knowledgeable about wines and the Burgundy region. On the half-hour+ ride to the our first stop, Adam provided a very informative narration of the regions' history and all of the various wine classifications, etc. We had a great time, and tasted at several different tasting houses, and many many wines. Thank you, Adam for a memorable tour. I recommendation for the tour company is to update your Meeting Place instructions and description. It was very difficult to find.

Sister’s trip in Grance

Fun time, our guide was very knowledgeable of the regions… the only thing is the wine tour was fast and didn’t explain much about the vines nor the region. The winery owners were lovely.

Worst service experience with no recovery

The local tour operator made an error and booked us for the 31st instead of the 13th on a private tour. They offered a group tour with unacceptable terms and we had to downgrade from a full day to half day to eventually secure a tour. Not possible to reach Viatour - just the local operator. We had to wake up at 6:30 for no reason on vacation. No make good/recovery offered for extreme inconvenience and disappointment.

Great Introduction to Sarlat

This tour is a great way to gain a quick understanding of the town and the history of Sarlat and its main two outdoor markets, along with some of the best cheese and other markets in town. We discovered some great regional food and wine that we purchased to bring home. Benoit was a delightful tour guide, and the whole experience was very entertaining.

Getting the history of the area was a huge plus

Amelie was fantastic. During the one hour drive to Albi she perfectly captured the history of the area from the Roman times to Louis IVX, which provided a tremendous amount of context to the day in general. That history and perspective that she provided all the way through our wine tasting at the end of the day really gave a complete experience. The three locations on this tour are great intros to the Tarn region in France.

Well worth it

Our guide, Pascal, had incredible knowledge of his subject. He clearly relishes imparting his knowledge to the guests.

Bordeaux 8 hour wine tour

We had a great day visiting wineries and touring St. Emilion. Our tour guide, Luigi, was fantastic. He was personable, knowledgeable, kind and attentive. St. Emilion is beautiful and a “must see” when visiting the area. The wineries we visited were enjoyable and informative about the wine making process in the region. I highly recommend this tour.

Guide Charlene was quite good but sometimes was not waiting for everyone to be within hearing range. Good recommendation re lunch: crepes was a good choice.
