Passeio delicioso

Amelie foi muito gentil e aprendemos muito sobre vinhos. Foi uma tarde deliciosa. A primeira vinícola foi muito autêntica e os vinhos muito saborosos. Na segunda visita, nos decepcionamos com a oportunidade. Tenho duas sugestões: buscar uma segunda vinícola mais típica e atenciosa e ampliar o tempo de passeio entre os vinhedos, para uma visita mais prática e com lindas vistas.

Breathtaking views and picturesque places

An absolutely terrific day out - I’m so pleased we booked this. Magical little villages, and the most magnificent castle at the end of the trip. Thierry was a fantastic guide, enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable. We visited the castle at sunset and on a day when it sat above the clouds, resulting in breathtaking views from the top. Highly recommended. Craig and Jason

An Amazing Tour of Normandie

Lillian, our guide, was excellent! He was extremely knowledgeable about WW2; he used pictures to enhance his stories; he was very courteous - he brought umbrellas for us because it was misting; he wore a microphone for everyone to hear, clearly. He was polite and thoughtful. He told us where the toilettes were, then he told us the time of the program, and he gave us time to explore the gravesites, privately, as a kindness. He had excellent driving skills, all of us felt safe as he drove.

Best Wine Experience I've Had!

From the vine-covered rolling hills to the meticulous vineyard rows, our half-day trip to Saint-Émilion from Bordeaux was nothing short of spectacular. A key highlight of this tour was our guide, Mario, whose expertise as a sommelier deeply enriched our experience. As an Italian native, Mario not only brought a passionate flair to his guidance but also shared intricate details about the winemaking process that were both enlightening and engaging. The tour began with a scenic drive from Bordeaux to Saint-Émilion, during which Mario entertained us with fascinating stories and facts about the region's history and viticulture. Upon arrival, we visited a charming, family-run winery where we were walked through the vineyards and cellars. Mario's knowledge was invaluable, as he explained the unique qualities of the terroir and how they translate into the flavor and structure of the wine. The wine tasting session itself was a delightful experience. With Mario's sommelier insights, we learned to identify subtle notes and aromas in the wines, which enhanced our appreciation significantly. The selection included superb examples of what makes Saint-Émilion such a revered wine-producing area. Overall, this tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Bordeaux. The combination of stunning landscapes, insightful commentary, and exquisite wines makes for an unforgettable experience. Mario’s professional yet personable approach as a guide will undoubtedly enhance your visit, making this tour highly recommendable for both wine aficionados and novices alike.

Excellent tour with Charles, an outstanding guide

Charles was an amazing tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about MSM and entertained us with lots of interesting tidbits about the abby and the town. He also took us to a great place for lunch away from the tourists. I highly recommend this tour and this company.

Valentine was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of each of the sites. It gave us a great understanding of what all took place on d-day, and we have a deeper appreciation for the sacrifices of those servicemen.

A fun rainy day in Saint Emilion

Christal, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and nice. Even though it was a rainy day she kept it fun. Her driving was very good during heavy rain. She was also very kind to two Italian tourists who spoke neither English nor French. She really tried to help them. Her English skills were great!
