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.

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.

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.

Well worth it

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

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.

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.

Absolutely wonderful time! I’ve never seen soooo many vines before. It was truly picturesque and learning the history was fascinating. Adam really liked the castle and our guide was amazing! He really made it. 10/10 recommend.

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.

Beautiful Alsatian villages

Our guide was Roman. He’s very friendly but you’re not going to get many details from him. The overall tours with the towns, you’re on your own. We didn’t really learn much about them. In Colmar, the tour described a guided tour, but we were just dropped off. When we arrived at the castle, Roman did arrange a nice detailed tour with a guide there named Fiona. He was a safe driver and with this tour we appreciated not having to drive there, especially to the castle where parking was non existent.

A lovely day & we highly recommend

Hugo was our guide on a small group tour of 8. He has a super personality, is very easy company and very well informed on all things Wine & Bordeaux. We all thoroughly enjoyed the day and would definately do it again. He gave us super recommendations for lunch in St Emilion, and clearly knows his way around the region. Many thanks Hugo.

A perfect taste of Alsace!

I took the Alsace Colmar, Medieval Villages & Castle Small Group Day Trip from Strasbourg in October led by Jerome. There were eight of us from the US, New Zealand, and Hong Kong. I couldn't recommend it enough! It's the perfect kind of a tour to really get a sense of a region. Jerome was highly knowledgeable and kept us interested talking about the rich history of the region as he drove us to different towns and then toured around them. In a couple places we even had some free time to explore on our own. The group was friendly and interactive with each other as we walked around... it's so nice to get to chat with other travelers as you explore new places. I was on my own and felt completely comfortable with the group. Lots of walking, and climbing stairs at the castle, but totally doable. A complete highlight of my three days in Strasbourg.
