Burgundy Villages & Wine Tour
This is not a wine tour as the title says!! I was disappointed to find out that it was only a wine tasting at the end of the day. This is false advertising as I picture my day going to various villages wine makers and talking about wine! This is not a wine tour at all. The guide was super nice and knowledgeable about the villages we visited but it is not at all what I expected. Also we were dropped off for lunch and the two restaurants we were recommended rejected us saying they were full. I was really hoping to sample boeuf bourguignon but was rudely turned away twice! I eventually found a kebab place to fill the hole!! There was no way of communicating with the guide while I was literally hunting for my lunch which was also frustrating. Again this is false advertising as it definitely was not a wine tour!!
The cemetery was amazing and to be at Omaha beach was something we had to see . It was great to be there

Well-paced trip through D-Day essentials
We had an overall good experience with the trip to all essential locations of the D-Day operation; it would have been even greater if the tour guide had a better English level, as sometimes we struggled to follow what they were saying.

a good tour
Carlos was a good driver and guide; man, he knows a lot about wines and grape production. My fellow passengers and I were not impressed, however, by the fact that the main office sold tickets to 2 people at 9:00 - the start time of the tour. We had all made a good effort to be at the meeting place by 8:50 as stated and then we had a 20 min wait for the newbies to arrive. This cut into our overall time for the tour for the rest of us. I advise Head Office not to do this again. A warning to the guests to be prepared for the climb up the castle would be a good idea: avoid flimsy sandals. Mathius Grunewald's masterpiece, the Isemheim Alter Piece, is in Colmar. As it is one of the art world's most renowned piece, I suggest getting to the Musee Unterlinden to allow those who want to go in to see it. Otherwise, v pretty villages and countryside, as expected.

Pascal at Omaha
It was so complete. Interesting stories, detailed historical events. Ample time to look around each area we visited. Pascal was an excellent guide. He had many anecdotal stories as well as an enormous amount of accurate information. He really made the tour come to life I would very much like to take more tours of the area and would would hope to get Pascal

Superb experience!!!
Excellent experience yesterday! Our guide was a sommelier earlier in his career, and shared a lot of insights about the wines of Alsace, the history and people with us. We visited two wineries, one established hundreds of years ago, the other 12 years ago. They each served multiple samples of their products along with answering our questions. A tour of the cellar was also included. In addition, we also stopped at a lookout point for an appreciation of the Alsace region. A brief stop at the memorial to the WWII battle of Colmar provided a different historical context. Highly recommend!

Guided Saint-Emilion Wine Tasting & Village Visit From Bordeaux
Not enough time in St Emilion. Too much time spent pre (limited) tour of vineyard with the attempted sale of wine to the guests on the tour.
Good tour, lovely guide. Good information provided

Alex was an excellent guide, with a passion for history and geology that made every stop meaningful. Although we've been living in PACA for a few years, we've learned a great deal. What we really valued was Alex's flexibility. He managed to adapt the day perfectly, even finding a bit of time to stop at the Bonne Mère in Marseille on the way to the cave. We enjoyed spending the day with someone who knows the region inside out and shares it generously. Furthermore, though it's the middle of August, we didn't suffer from the heat (AC vehicle, windy cruise, shadowed streets, cold Cassis wine, the cave & museum), and that's amazing when visiting the South of France. We recommend this tour to anyone wanting a deeper understanding of Marseille, Cassis, and the Calanques.

It was a nice day traveling to four different places in the Alsace region. We got to hear a lot of history of the towns and the area in general. Roxanne was a great guide.
