I want to thank out guide Hugo! It was a very pleasant ride, Hugo told us so since about the region and the wineries. Choosing between two châteaux I would say that the second one was more interesting, and I guess it is due to wonderful Margo, the girl who guided us - so cheerful and funny! In general this tour worth seeing. I would recommend to my friends.

Best tour guide possible

We came from Canada and i booked this tour based on a referral from another wine friend. It’s my second time here. Llia was our guide and he was fantastic. Knowledgeable and provided detailed service. The stop offs were good. A good presentation of the appellation. For the hot days, would be good that the company can provide bottle water for the 5 hour trip. Overall very good value for the money.

A Really Good Introduction to Bordeaux Wine

Rémi, excellent guide, took us in a small group of five in an air-conditioned minibus on an excellent tour. He gave us a good introduction to Bordeaux wines as we drove out along the Route du Vin, pointing out places of interest along the way, including various Châteaux. We visited 2 different Châteaux , both excellent with friendly knowledgeable guides. We were able to taste various wines in both Châteaux with helpful advice and information from our hosts. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.
