    Explanations in English and French, great for putting both languages into practice. The guide (Katherine) was very friendly at all times. The only thing that disappointed me a bit was in the wine tasting, they put two drops in our glasses, and despite being many attendees they had left over white and red wine after serving us, because they could have had the gesture of doing as they proceeds in the tastings that put more quantity to better appreciate the wine.

    The tour was fine for the price, which only included one winery and 2 wine tastings. The guide was excellent in her instructions and information. She did her best at herding a very large group (30-ish), which got challenging when not everyone returned to the bus on time after the free time in Saint Emilio. The biggest challenge was 8 booked an English speaking tour and there were about 6 people who wanted French, so we had to hear every explanation and detail repeated in both languages.

    Was a fun day out and lots of info. We really enjoyed. For me I was hoping for a bit more wines to taste, so only had x2. I would have loved to have tried a couple more. But overall the trip was good
